Bomber
Over the years, it seems that a lot of the folks on the board have referenced heavy use of the Bomber/Bomber Long A.
How heavy are these? Unless I have not found the right ones, they are relatively light.
Are you able to throw these on heavy gear, or do you have to scale down quite a bit?
Thanks.

The 6" 16A weighs 7/8 oz I think. I upgrade the rear and front hooks, and leave off the middle hook, so it probably evens out weight-wise.
The 7" 17As are a little heavier---maybe 1-1/2 oz.

The 6" A-Salts weigh 1oz but I find they cast much better than the 7" magnums
on a lighter setup.
The black/purple in either the A-Salt or the magnum is MY goto plug for night fishing.
It would be nice to see the Gag's Mambo come in blurple. |

Regardless...thanks for carrying them.
Love the color in Bombers but the Mambos cast further.At least on my two plugging setups they do.Can't weight to fish'em. |

on your bombers swap out the hooks for vmc 4X in size 1
or You can go to a 1/0 up front and a 1/0 in back.
or the same with the size 1 also  |
