The Bomber rig that brings back memories ...have not used one in over ten years..

Used to be called the Clacton rig also but i think Gold's loop rig was the main reason for its demise.

The loop rig when made correctly streamlines 2 baits more effectively behind the lead IMO.

Although one thing i found the Bomber useful for was to find which length snoods were working better on the day and once this was found out you could move to a rig with 2 or 3 of the correct length snoods.
