bomber rig????????
was looking through a rig booklet i got free in a tackle shop and came across a rig called the bomber rig it is a rig that has a short botttom snood and a very long top snood but both snoods fit into the bait clip to maximize casting distance i was just wondering if anyone has used it and if the top and bottom snood get tangled???
click to see a pic of the rig

Re: bomber rig????????
bomber rig is fine in calm water any bit of a current at all and it will most likely get tangled.......the long lost brother of the new and improved 2h clipped!!!

Re: bomber rig????????
obsolete now....try 2hook loop rig,invented by Mr. Ian Golds if Im not mistaken. Plenty of lads on this site still in love with the bomber...sportscast lads have a lot to answer for too !

Re: bomber rig????????
hate the bomber rig, better off sticking to a normal 2 hook flaper (cliped) if you want more distance
