The Bomber Fat Free Shad is the O.G. El Salto Crankbait

Headed to El Salto? Or Picachos? Or any other big bass lake in Mexico?

No matter which one you’re fishing, or when you’re going, there’s one crankbait that MUST be in your tackle bag: The Bomber Fat Free Shad in either of the two deepest-diving versions. While you’re at it, start off with the most magical color it comes in: Citrus Shad. Click on the video below to get a little bit of the back story and see it work its magic.

This lure has been so influential that it has spawned a long list of color copycats. After all, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
