Joseph B. : Great quality lurez as always

This thing is huge lol. I got it for some brackish water fishing, but the trip got canceled due to this forsaken Corona virus... maybe I can catch a muskie on it though.

Amazon Customer : My local striper likey

I immediately love this lure. I caught some schoolie striper on 2nd, and 3rd cast. From shore (reservoir). I was so impressed that I just ordered 3 other lures by the same brand.

Robert Brown : Great

Great crank bait

Brandon n. : Huge stripers

Durable, good weight, quality hooks and catches monster landlocked stripers

martin : Great

Exactly what I wanted

Dayro Longas : Excelent Lure

Good product, the product comes in time, the product meets all the characteristics described in the Amazon site.

Used to fish peackock bass, black bass, salminus afinnis in Colombia

Rolando Rodriguez : Muy bien trabajado

Aún no lo utilizo pero se ve excelente

Tommy Nguyen : Internet

Walter C. : Great lure!

Great lure--catches fish every time out! It casts a mile!

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

great bait for the huge Northern in Canada

Atlantic Bodyboard Shop : Love my bombers!

One of my favorite Striper lures for calmer days. Had great success with blurple at night, can't beat it for the price!

Owen : Great action, a wide side to side tail whip

Great action, a wide side to side tail whip, not like an SP that has a more roll action. Casting distance is not as good as an SP but it gets the job done when the fish are in close.

Walter C. : Great lure!

Great lure--catches fish every time out! It casts a mile!

Hippie Herps : AWESOME LURE!

This is an awesome lure. Great weight and smooth casting. The action is amazing and it looks just like a baby striper.

Kim Crockett : Five Stars

Just as described.

Joseph B. : Great quality lurez as always

This thing is huge lol. I got it for some brackish water fishing, but the trip got canceled due to this forsaken Corona virus... maybe I can catch a muskie on it though.

Harvey Sherman : Great for Salmon

I use these salmon fishing. The fish love them but they take a toll on the lures. Best advice put a good ball bearing swivel a couple feet up the line and use a quality snap swivel/ball bearing combo in front of the bomber. You will still straighten a split or hook every once in awhile but well worth it. I have changed out the hooks and split rings on many of the lures and that has helped as well.

Joe : Large

nicely built lure but watch the size you buy. This is a big lure. Too big to use on a medium spinning rod with 8 pound test when you are fishing for eating size pike, walleye, smallmouth, or lake trout in the north country.

Carlos Brenes CR615220 : Matador

Tom O : Perfect transaction

Nicholas Parker : Five Stars

A+

SurfCaster : Can't go wrong with a Bomber

Been using Long A's for 25 years now. When conditions are right these are my go to lures for striped bass and blues. They last forever as long as you swap out the hooks when they rust and can keep from breaking your line and losing them

Brandon n. : Huge stripers

Durable, good weight, quality hooks and catches monster landlocked stripers

Joe : Five Stars

Good big deep diving lure. Beware, the large size is pretty beefy!

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

good product, no problem ...

F.B. : Good lures

Tom O : Perfect transaction

As advertised...nice lure.

Amazon Customer : Great

Paint looks great

Peter Ashley : Good action, not to stable when casting.

The action and quality look good. I deducted points for casting because for me, the lure always seems to tumble in the air, so it's not a long caster compared to SP minnow.

Emily B. : Garbage

Absolute junk disposable lure!!! I purposely purchased the heavier duty saltwater version because the hooks are a lot stronger. Well I guess I should have bought one with cheap hooks. At least if the hooks straightened out I could have replaced them. I caught one Musky with this lure and it stretched out one of the eyelets in the joint that holds it together. Come on how cheap is this thing made? I’m only using 50# PowerPro braided line so how is it possible a steel eyelet can almost straighten out and my 50# line doesn’t break? I will tell you how that’s possible. It’s only possible when you use bottom of the barrel cheapass Chinese tripled recycled steel!!!

Raymond Nguyen : Five Stars

great lure for surf fishing and stripers

Charles J. Foschini : This lure CRUSHES it

I don't usually post reviews and I don't work for Bomber! But this lure saved my trip. I fished this lure on a tough water level trip in the Columbian Amazon. This lure and color crushed the fish. In truth I had this lure from an earlier trip 10+ years ago on a previous Amazon journey and it stayed in the box in favor of top waters. Looking back it was a mistake. I pulled it out on this trip to Columbia BC the fish were holding deeper and I used this lure and a jig the entire trip. I caught Peacocks galore to 15 lbs and even an 18lb catfish! Fish this lure and Book Alan Zaremba in Las Lagunas and go get them! I ordered a bunch for my next trip and am excited to use these locally for big tarpon and snook in the Everglades.
