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.
