Quick take
Bomber's Certified Depth topwater lures for saltwater species, designed for casting and popping presentations.
The 8-inch Hot Pink version is rated at 30 feet of diving depth and floats at rest, so it returns toward the surface when the trolling speed drops. Its wire-through body and heavy-duty hardware hold the key parts together on a trolling run. It gives anglers a bright pink option for trolling deeper saltwater water.
