Featured Replies

Has anyone had any experience with the other options in the Bomber Fat Free line?

Any feedback on the following baits would be greatly appreciated:

Bomber Fat Free Shallow

Bomber Fat Free Fingerling

Bomber Fat Free Shad Jr.

Bomber Fat Free Guppy

Bomber Fat Free Fry

Thanks for your time guys.

I've had some success with a Fat Free Fry in Citrus Shad. I picked up some Fat Free Guppys, and Fat Free Fingerlings late in the season, so I didn't get a chance to really fish them.

What gets me excited is, watching Timmy Horton fish the Fat Free Shads, and catching two bass at once.

Bombers are one of the best lower end baits made. (under $10.00)

Can't go wrong with anything in their line.

Agree.

My buddy does mostly pond fishing and he fished the bomber fat free fry almost exclusively for his crankbait fishing and absolutely slayed them!!!!!!!!   ;D

I got a few for this year and I highly recommend them to you for a shallow crankbait.

Bomber makes excellent baits.  I haven't tried the baits you listed, but I've been fishing Bombers since I was a kid.   I still do.  I wouldn't do it if they hadn't proven to be excellent baits.

I've used all of those except the Shad Jr. and all have caught me fish! I believe my favorite is the Fat Free Guppy, in citrus or chartreuse/blue. It kills em! ;)

I hate to break in on this thread but I've got a question.  I've got a Bomber Fat Free shad that is dark blue on top that quickly fades to white on the sides and bottom.  This is the best catching crankbait I've ever owned and I'm worried about losing it since I can't find the color again.  Any idea on the color and where to find it?

Take a pic of it and have one custom painted if all else fails and you lose it

I know this doesn't directly answer your question but the Bomber Square A is my favorite shallow cranks. Comes through cover pretty well. And they are fairly inexpensive too, just in case they don't come through the cover....

If you happen to get one with Bill Dance's signature on it make sure you white it out.

If the fish see it, they won't bite!  ;D

Walmart in the DFW areas and surround parts of Texas all report clearance sales going on Bomber cranks.

I have always loved the Fat free Shads, guppy's and fingerlings in the suspending models.

   Got another 50 bucks worth at two stores yesterday.   Got some Gammie hooks half price.    Good deals on other baits as well.

Lavendar shad has been working lately, Tenn shad is my summer go to color, hard to find, they went to Root beer a few years back.    And the citrus shad is working right now as well.    

I fish the Fat Free Jr. the most, it catches a lot of bass for me and is my go to crankbait.  

When in clear water rock flats fishing for Smallmouth I like the Fat Free Fingerling.

You did not list the other Bombers like the 3A, 4A, and 5A and these are excellent baits too.  Almost indestructible, run great right out of the box, and catch a lot of fish.
