The Rappin One Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Very close match there. The Bomba Shad was designed to be a cross between a Mega Shad and a Bassassassin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rappin One Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Just the bodies are sold. It's up to you to find the right jig head to match where you are fishing. The one in the pic is on a 2 oz jig head that I had rigged for slack at the canal when the squid were around last year. I typically throw a 3/4 oz head off of the beach. A slow steady retrieve seems to work best. Edited January 6, 2022 by The Rappin One PSeggs and bdowning 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke04 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Cod, what is the jig shown in this pic? Can't find it as 4-eye jig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look interesting, I wonder if the larger sizes can be fitted to 3, 4, and maybe 5 oz. jig heads for the canal. The profile even suggests a shad head type jig (as shown) but color matching and then again in heavier weights. PS the molds for these baits are commercially available...................

Its a 4 inch swivel we used them last year when fishing big blue fish, it makes for an easy and safe landing of the fish. A few years back my boat mate ended up in the emergency room when his finger was to close to a blues mouth. "Blue fish safety swivel" Cheap insurance The last few years I started seeing them on the charter boats. Jeff270 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So kind of a "handle" - the chain keeps the fish from using leverage against you when landing and unhooking them. Good idea, I have a couple good scars from blues.

zeke04 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 The other good thing about that rig is that bluefish often hit short to a lure and miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler1889 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I used to tube and worm for stripers and when a blue hit its a great lure to handle a blue without getting your fingers too close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
