Bomber Long A 3/8 Bone Red Eye

The Bomber Long A 3/8 Bone Red Eye is a classic slender minnow jerkbait built for anglers who want a proven bait that works across multiple gamefish species. This compact profile makes it ideal for bass fishing with a twitch-and-pause retrieve, but it's equally effective when trolled or cast for walleye, salmon, and other predators that chase baitfish. The Bone Red Eye color scheme mimics natural forage, giving you a realistic pattern that performs in a range of water conditions.

What makes the Bomber Long A a workhorse for serious anglers is its balance of castability and action. The 3/8 size sits right in the sweet spot—small enough to entice selective fish but substantial enough to cast decent distances and maintain a tight, responsive action. Whether you're working shallow cover for largemouths, hunting walleye on structure, or targeting salmon in open water, this bait gives you the versatility to adapt to different fishing scenarios without swapping gear.

Bomber has earned its reputation by delivering baits that catch fish year after year. The Long A is no exception—it's been a staple in tackle boxes for decades because anglers keep coming back to what works. If you're building a core selection of hard baits or looking to round out your jerkbait arsenal with a proven pattern and size, the Bone Red Eye finish on a 3/8 Long A is a smart choice.
