New Bomber Colors

Ok......maybe color doesn't matter but who couldn't use another Bomber. Anyone notice the new Long A and Magnum Bomber colors for 2008? It's been a while since there have been any color additions to the line up. I noticed a black w/ gold sides and silver belly, chartreues clown, and one more but can't remember what it was. They are also making an A-Salt pencil popper.

These bombers are not on the web site but they did have them in the 2008 Cabela's saltwater catalog.

I did notice that in the picture but the hooks on bombers have always been inconsistent. Some have had permasteel and some/most have had mustad hooks. Those vmc's are still coming off if they're not 4x.

My buddy lost a huge bass back in June because he didnt switch out those stock permasteel hooks. The fish straightened them right out...he learned a valuable lesson.

I never saw them before this year...might be a regional thing too...we only seem to get certain colors up on the North Shore.

I wasn,t busting B*%ls. I just didn't know if there was a new spin on the plug. If I can find the old Bas#$*d I'll post a picture.

Cabelas can be a little weird with their website, last year when Yozuri came out with the magnum crystal minnow it was in the catalog but nowhere to be found on the website, but when I entered the item number from the catalog into the search bar on the website it was there.
