Bailey Bait
This is a handcrafted replica of a 1940 Bomber Bait Co. Bomber. It runs backwards like a crawdad. If you hit a limb underwater, it's the backside gets hit rather than the hook side. But most important-it is a model 600 Bomber that has held the Small Mouth Bass world record since 1955. It's length is 4 1/4 inches (overall). Great for Bass & Walleye. You can purchase just the lure, or include our solid wood collector's box in Kentucky Coffee Bean, or (aromatic) Red Cedar.
