Bomber
Bomber is an iconic American lure brand with a legacy stretching back to 1946, when C.S. "Turby" Turbeville and Ike Walker began handcrafting wooden fishing baits in Gainesville, Texas. The brand's most famous creation — the Bomber Long A — was introduced in the mid-1970s and quickly became one of the world's most recognised minnow-style lures. Known for its reinforced construction, thick-walled plastic body, and integrated diving lip, the Long A has stood the test of time as a go-to for predatory fish worldwide.
At Compleat Angler Nedlands, we stock the Bomber Long A range including the 15A-HD, B14, and the Long A Triple Threat 3-pack. These versatile diving lures are proven producers on a huge range of species, from barramundi and mangrove jack to tailor and mulloway.

What is the Bomber Long A lure used for?
The Bomber Long A is a versatile minnow-style diving lure effective on a wide range of predatory fish. It works brilliantly when cast and retrieved or trolled, producing a tight wobble and flash that triggers strikes from species like barramundi, tailor, mulloway, and mangrove jack.
How deep does the Bomber Long A dive?
Diving depth varies by model — the Long A range includes shallow and deeper-running options. The integrated diving lip is moulded directly into the lure body for added durability and consistent tracking at depth.
Is the Bomber Long A good for Australian fishing?
Absolutely. While the Long A was born in America, it has proven incredibly effective in Australian waters. Its minnow profile and tight action make it a standout lure for targeting barramundi, tailor, flathead, and other predatory species found around WA.
