The Long-range sniper of our lineup, the Wind Cheater throws like a bullet and will hit the X better than any bait on the market. Its realistic wounded action provokes violent attacks, and its ultra-high-tensile-strength, virtually indestructible body is always up to the test. Saltwater Grade hangers, split rings and hooks honed razor sharp stick'em deep and won't let go.

Great plug!!

A must have plug for snook and redfish.
Pros
  • Great action.
Cons
  • None since they offer in a larger size if the wind is a little too strong.

Ok casting

This is Bomber's answer to the minnow baits with a weight transfer system like the Daiwa SP or the MagDarter. Unfortunately, it doesn't cast nearly as well as those two lures. However, it does provide a wider profile which can be more appealing to fish on some occasions. Not one of my "go to" baits

Very good but not great
April 25, 2017
This is a very good lure...casts a mile and stripers really like them either trolled around 3 mph or used as a jerk-bait. I've caught many fish on this lure but they are not as sturdy as i thought. Had a 50 lb striper boat side and just ready to lip the fish when she gave one last tremendous head shake and literally tore the rear treble hook completely out of the lure. If this was truly a salt water lure it would have a "wire thru lure hook system". I will continue to buy and use these tried and true fish catchers.
Pros
  • Casts great and fish like them.
Cons
  • No wire thru construction

Great action but not so great casting
May 23, 2016
So I wanted some lure that can dive so I got this based on previous experience with bombers before and I also wanted something that could be used when winds are blowing hard. So I got this lure and went to using it in a 15-20 mph windy day and 5-7 mph wind on another day. From my experience, the lure swim nicely and dive as advertised and it can reach bottom if reeled fast in a shallow water. Unfortunately, it does NOT cast far compared to other lures with similar specification (6 inch and 1 7/8 ounce). Under moderate wind, it cast similar to metal lip but dive much deeper. Under high wind, I would not even try using it as it was blown back to the beach and push by waves so you can not keep contact with the lure. This could be great for trolling from a kayak!
Pros
  • great action and dive as advertised
Cons
  • not for high windy days

Wind cheater
January 31, 2016
I changed the back treble to a single as I do with all my plugs and the action was not affected. The plug has a good balance and will definitely be a wind cheater. I'm hoping the mackerel coloring will be effective.
Pros
  • Weight, color
Cons
  • None that I can see

Long casting plug

True to name, this plug casts a long way. Deadly on redfish and spotted sea trout.

February 5, 2014
This lure is liek a missile casts better then any hard bait i have ever tested! And casting far isn't all it does, great action works great in saltwater aswell as fresh!
Pros
  • Casts amazing! Strong and durable, salt water grade goods.
