Bomber Model A 1/4 1-1/4 4-6' Foxy Shad

The Bomber Model A 1/4 1-1/4 4-6' Foxy Shad is a compact diving crankbait built to catch bass when standard-sized lures fall short. This hard bait excels in downsizing situations—those frustrating days when fish want something smaller but still need to be worked at depth. At under 1.25 inches, the Model A punches well above its weight class, reaching 4 to 6 feet on the dive with a tight, responsive action that bigger crankbaits can't match. The Foxy Shad color mimics natural forage, making it a reliable choice for both clear and stained water conditions.

Whether you're fishing tough post-frontal conditions, pressured waters, or simply experimenting with a smaller profile, this crankbait belongs in your tackle box. It casts easily despite its modest size, allowing you to cover water and target structure—downed timber, rock piles, and shell beds—with precision. The hard-body construction means durability through repeated casts and strikes, and the consistent dive depth makes it predictable to work around cover.

Bomber's Model A line has earned its place in bass fishing for good reason: it works when conventional wisdom says to go bigger. If you've had success downsizing before, or if you're new to the practice, this is the crankbait to test first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What water depths can I fish this crankbait?

The Bomber Model A dives 4 to 6 feet, making it ideal for mid-depth bass in ponds, lakes, and reservoirs. It's shallow enough for skinny water but deep enough to reach structure that holds suspended fish.

When should I downsize to this smaller crankbait?

Downsizing works best during tough conditions—post-front weather, clear water, or heavily pressured fisheries where bass are less aggressive. The smaller profile can trigger strikes when standard-sized baits draw refusals.

Is the Foxy Shad color good for clear water?

Foxy Shad is a natural forage-matching color that performs well in both clear and stained water. It's versatile enough for a range of conditions and a solid all-purpose choice.
