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

The Bomber Fat Free Shad is a 3-inch diving crankbait built to reach depths of 12 to 16 feet on the cast. At 1 ounce, this pearl white hard bait delivers a tight, responsive action that triggers strikes from bass, pike, and other predatory fish. The flat-sided profile creates a distinctive wobble that mimics natural forage, making it effective for anglers targeting deeper structure and seasonal depth transitions where traditional shallow runners won't reach.

What sets the Fat Free Shad apart is how readily it responds to rod work without requiring excessive cranking effort. The design balances casting distance with the kind of subtle action that finicky fish reward—especially valuable during periods when fish are holding deep but still willing to chase a bait that doesn't demand aggressive retrieval. Pearl white is a versatile choice in clear to moderately stained water, visible enough to draw attention but natural enough not to spook cautious fish.

Whether you're working offshore humps, channel ledges, or deep grass lines, the Fat Free Shad gives you a compact, efficient way to cover the zone without downsizing to smaller profiles or lighter baits. It's the kind of crankbait that earns its place in any deep-water repertoire.
