Saltwater lures for freshwater fish? – Fantastic Bomber Saltwater Grade tackle has me thinking outside of my tackle box.

Saltwater hard baits have always been a weakness for me when it comes to adding lures to my tackle collection. Generally speaking, their colors and patterns are fantastic, looking great on the wall and in the package. With respect to actually wetting a line with one, sometimes as fresh water fisherman we need to think out of the box, as in out of our tackle boxes and into those of our salty peers. 

What I’m saying is that you can’t be afraid to mix it up a bit, as saltwater fishermen have at their disposal some fantastic hardbait and tackle offerings that those of us away from the coast – in my humble opinion - can really take advantage of. To that end, Bomber Saltwater Grade tackle is a line of baits I personally have added to my collection, and plan to soon start throwing. In fact, I wouldn’t hesitate throwing any hard bait in their lineup - in the right freshwater condition – as it’s all about presenting the fish with something they haven’t seen before. You don’t have to worry about the quality and construction of these baits - they are built to withstand the variable extremes of the ocean, as well as the crushing power (teeth) of the quarry found within; heavy duty hooks and terminal hardware abound. Enjoy the eye candy below!

Bomber Saltwater Trout Assortment - Speculizer rigs, Life-Like Shrimp and Floating Long As. Note: I really like the idea of popping cork rigs with soft plastic trailers for Bass. It’s an idea I have been thinking about for a while now.


Two great saltwater top water baits that would make any hungry bass drool. These baits look great as part of my in-package collection too!


Topwater Bottom Line: Bomber has always made great lures - I have many in my freshwater collection - and their Saltwater Grade line is no exception - these baits are built to last and catch fish. Why not show freshwater fish something they haven’t seen before, be it Bomber’s hard or hard/soft saltwater (e.g. Redfish Flasher Curltail) baits. These lures are priced nicely, ranging from between 6 to 11 dollars per unit (approximately). As always, please practice catch and release with these lures.

It's always a good Idea to try something different when fishing on pressured waters, and these quality baits will fit the bill nicely.
