Just got these 6 Bomber lures for $12!

How successful will I be with 'em?

Bobo,

I look at those lures and really consider their lack of potential. Rather than offer a guess why don't you send them to me and let me field test them for you. I'll be fishing the last week of June. I will send back to you the lures I have left, if any. But in the absence of your lures I would offer a glowing fishing report nonetheless. That should be very helpful. All joking aside I think you did very well to get those 6 lures for $12. There's no reason why you won't be able to put fish in the boat with them. I have a few "untested" lures I am looking forward to use.

Good luck, and tight lines.

I have the front right and back-center ones. Love them. Where'd you get them for that price?

Their new small square bills work wonders on the WI river too.

eBay!! This guy "reelsalt" has been putting up lots all week long and they all end monday or tuesday nights so they don't go up very high [all start at 1 cent!]


Definitely worth checking him out. And he isn't just selling bombers, he also has a huge variety of lures and they are all new.

A zillion years ago any Bomber lure was a deep diver, way deeper than any other floating/diving lure. The way the original Bomber was made you could say it ran backward, the lip was the tail of the bait. I bought one when I was about 11, my friends laughed at me every time they saw it.

one thing i like about the bomber 7a-8a at a faster speed they track true and deep this is my collection older version then yours. i never go on a BW trip without them. i have an old/new chrome 6a that will see some action this year. always been a big fan of bomber crankbaits. the chartuse 8a crawdad is money in deeper rocks in the BW

looking at your collection closer i like the upper left and the lower right, IMO

Be sure to change out the galvanized hooks. they are not sharp as new, sharpen poorly, and get dull easy. Good luck.

The first time I saw bombers I laughed out loud at them. I told Rusty if he catches anything on those I"ll kiss his you no what. That nite he put several 10 pound plus northerns in the net. Since that trip I never leave home without them. And yes, I still hear about the time I laughed at Rusty. Lesson learned.

Bomber lures are great. Foxy Shad is a great color.

We came around a rapids on the South Kawishiwi River one summer and there were two guys fishing, one catching. The one not catching asked if we had any Bombers. He offered $20 apiece. His buddy just smiled. And hooked another fish.

Anyone try the Bomber Long A's with more slender profile for walleye? Is your success with chunkier body profile Bombers mostly used for smallies?

I love the shorter wider bomber in rivers for bass. I fish the upper Mississippi for smallmouth a bunch and it is my opinion that the Bomber might be the best of all crankbaits.

3Ball, what Bomber model do you like for bass. There are Fat Free Square Lips, Square A's, Flat A's, .... Lots of choices....need to narrow it down as to what's best for smallies and eyes.

I love the Long-A's for Walleyes.
