Quick take
Bomber's Certified Depth topwater lures for saltwater species, designed for casting and popping presentations.
The 8-inch Silver Flash Blue Back version is rated at 30 feet of diving depth and floats, so it rises when the trolling pace drops. Its wire-through body and heavy-duty hardware keep the main parts connected under trolling strain. It suits anglers working deeper saltwater water who want a reliable trolling plug in a natural silver finish.
