Bomber Model A 1/4 1-1/4 4-6' Chartreuse/Black

The Bomber Model A 1/4 1-1/4 4-6' Chartreuse/Black is a compact diving crankbait built for bass anglers who need to downsize when the bite gets tough. This small-profile hardlure punches above its weight—a sub-2-inch body that dives to 4–6 feet makes it ideal for pressured water, cold fronts, and finicky fish that have seen the standard offerings. The chartreuse-and-black color scheme cuts through stained water and low-light conditions, making it visible to bass even in less-than-ideal clarity.

Where this crankbait excels is in situations that demand finesse without sacrificing depth. Many anglers default to oversized baits, but downsizing often triggers strikes when fish are lock-jawed or selective. The Bomber Model A's compact design lets you reach the 4–6-foot strike zone with a bait that mimics smaller forage—exactly what bass expect when the fishing slows. Whether you're working shallow reservoirs, post-spawn lakes, or any scenario where a subtler approach pays off, this is a go-to tool.

The chartreuse-black color is a proven confidence choice for murky water and dawn/dusk periods. Run it on standard casting tackle, vary your retrieve speed, and let the diving action and wobble do the work. It's a no-nonsense crankbait that reminds us that sometimes less is more.
