Rated 3 out of 5 by bobwells7 fat free shad
these are not near as consistent out of the box for running true, when they are right I love them, but many times they run off to the side and I hate having to try to "tune" them bend the eye around etc. They are not nearly as true a running consistently as the model A bomber

Rated 5 out of 5 by rockchalk06 My favorite crank
Every time I got to my local bass pro, I buy something new. Somehow I always end up using my Bomber Firetiger each outing at least once.
I have been using this crank since the late 80's and was turned on to it by my dad. No telling how long he used them. It was his favorite. After he passed we put 3 in with him when we laid him to rest. That's how much dad liked them.
Time and time again the firetiger has produced. If I were a tourney fisherman there would be several in my boat. The action is bar none my favorite.
Hooks are extremely sharp and durable. I have 2 ER visits to prove this.
No doubt you will get miles of use out of these cranks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by coolbrew Bomber a good choice
I just went fishing with the bomber and filled my cooler with the largest white bass I have ever caught. It performed flawlessly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Johnathan Very good lure
The color patterns offered on these baits are great, and they're precisely done. The hooks are very sharp and the bait has nice action. But for an odd reason around here, I haven't caught much on them.

Assuming you picked the models that were similar length and dive depths, what is the difference between these Fat Free Shads and the Bomber Flat A series? Which of the two would you prefer?

A:
the shape of the lure. and the flat a. I've had a lot of success on the flat A in firetiger. caught seven small bass in seven casts on one fallen over tree once.
A:
fat free shad better colors and qulity
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Both are good baits and both will catch fish. All crankbaits have different action,and for the most part no two are alike.You just have to figure out what the fish want and go from there. Both baits have their own colors some colors will work better then others depending on the situation. I personally prefer the fat free shad over Bomber baits.Images for this Answer

i want to get one of these but i dont know which color.Answers
Top 100 Contributor
A:
The best color is the one that catches the biggest and most fish. What are the fish eating in your lake? Match the color of the forage.A:
Your color is going to more depend on the time of year and water color. Foxy shad is a great color and is very natural in the water. I would use this color for semi clear water. When I hit lakes that have really clear water, I go with a more ghost transparent color scheme. When I fish lakes that are muddy and/or stained, I go with one with more chart. and/or some with more black or dark colors.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
That depends on what type of forage the fish are feeding on. It is a good color but wont be very productive if there are not shad for forage. That does not mean that it wont catch fish because it will.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Base your decision on the water color you are going to be fishing...darker for stained to muddy water, lighter for clear.A:
No the best color is the emerald shadAnswers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The color depends on water clarity. Firetiger is a good color but there will be situations where this color might not work. You have to fish the bait and determine if that is what the fish want.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
In muddy or stained water, generally yes. In clear water, the shad (silver or white) colors generally are best.Details:
i like BD5F, but which do you think is the best size?Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The BD5F will cover most situations but again it depends on time of year the forage and the depth that you are fishimg.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Depends on the depth you are trying to reach...generally bigger run deeper. I like for my crankbaits to stay in contact with the bottom as much as possible since it makes their action more irratic and as they kick up sand or silt, they look like a fleeing crawfish.Details:
two things pop up when you type in "fat free shad", which one is better?or are they both really good?
Answers
Top 100 Contributor
A:
Both are good.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Both baits are the same and perform the same.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Both are good baits, a toss-up and can change day to day.A:
don't buy the bill dance signature series.Details:
i want to get one but i dont know which color is best.Answers
Top 100 Contributor
A:
Black pearl
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The best colors are the ones that match the baitfish where you are fishing.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Get two as a very minimum UNLESS you know the water color you are going to be fishing most. If stained to muddy, firetiger will be hard to beat. If clear water, a shad type color (silver or white).Details:
i want to get one of them but i dont know which to get.Answers
Top 100 Contributor
A:
Both are good. The fish will let you know which they prefer.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The fat free shad will catch fish but again it depends on where you are fishing and the conditions. Both baits will produce for you but both baits perform differently and have different sizes. You have to let the fish tell you what they want. The fat free shad is a very good bait but the wart does well.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Both are good...in colder water (50-53 degrees) I'd say the Wart is better, otherwise the FF Shad.Details:

yes these have a rattle but work very good to catch fish. they said bomber on lure so that how u identify it.

How do They Bomber Fat Free Shad Cranks Compare To The Norman Cranks? (For Those Who Have Tried Both)Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The Fat Free Shad crank baits are very good baits and they are as good as the Norman cranks.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Both are good crankbaits...about a toss-up. Bass can be finicky and they may prefer one over the other on any given day.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Good question personally i like to stick with norms in Tennessee lakes. But the bomber is my favorite in murky waters.A:
i have used both. and for me, the fat free shad has produced way more fish here in CA. the Norman is too bulky imo and not as good quality.
