Vivid orange eyes peer out from a dark, spotted body that transitions into a bright yellow underside on this classic balsa wood lure. Identified by product code 6901, the Bomber Water Dog is a notable piece of American craftsmanship from the USA. Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (9 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), its construction features a distinctive black metal diving lip secured with a line tie snap. The hardware includes two sharp treble hooks positioned along the belly and a small silver spinner blade at the rear to provide flash while casting or trolling. The paint finish, reminiscent of a leopard frog or water dog salamander, shows minor surface marks from years in a tackle box, earning it a 4/5 condition rating. The balsa body remains intact, showcasing the specific material choice that collectors of vintage Bomber tackle often search for.
