Bomber Fat Free Shad 1oz 3" 12-16' Citrus Shad

The Bomber Fat Free Shad is a flat-sided diving crankbait built to work deep while staying responsive on the cast and retrieve. At 1 ounce and 3 inches long, this lure dives to 12–16 feet, making it a solid choice for reaching suspended bass and other gamefish in moderate-depth zones without the drag and fatigue of heavier baits. The Citrus Shad color delivers a natural forage profile that works year-round, and the tight, enticing action triggers strikes even on pressured fish.

What sets the Fat Free Shad apart is its efficiency. The flat-sided body design cuts through the water cleanly, so you spend less energy working the bait and more time covering productive water. That ease of retrieve matters when you're making dozens of casts across a point, flat, or creek channel—your arm stays fresh and your presentation stays consistent.

Whether you're fishing shallow reservoirs, natural lakes, or river systems, the Fat Free Shad fills the gap between your shallow-running and ultra-deep arsenal. It's the kind of workhorse crankbait that catches fish because it looks and moves like something bass actually eat, not because of marketing hype.
