In Salem, Virginia, Missile Baits has launched an innovative new product, the Bomba 3.5, while also expanding its Spunk Shad offerings. Designed to cater to both novice and professional anglers, the Bomba 3.5 features a unique finesse craw body that can be cast effortlessly, mimicking the movement of real crawfish in the water.

"The Bomba 3.5 is a simple bait but extremely deadly because of its subtle action and amazing castability," said John Crews, BASS pro angler and owner of Missile Baits. He continued, "I love that you can use it on a spinning or bait casting setup, and it is basically snag resistant. It will be used by pros on tour to novices catching their first bass in a pond."

The Bomba 3.5 is specially designed with a hook slot in its belly, allowing for easy hook sets. This new bait is intended to be fished mainly Texas rigged, weightless, which causes it to drop to the bottom in an erratic manner. The design combines elements of popular fishing techniques, blending the functionalities of a Ned Rig and a Senko.
