I love bomber cranks. There are 2 classes for me, shallow and deep. On the shallow Square A model I like to cast near weed line or along side lay downs (fallen trees) and docks. If you can let the lip hit a piece of cover and kill your reel so it will float backward and not hang up that causes a reaction strike. Alos i like to use in the shallows during the pre and post spawn times. Now the Bomber A model I only fish in rocky, sandy bottoms. I will reel the lure down so it roots in the bottom kicking up silt and looks like a bait fish feeding. When I hit a rock or piece of cover I will again stop reeling and allow the bait to float up and clear the cover and keep going. Now if I am going deeper than 6-8 ft I will switch to a Bomber Fat Free Shad. I like to use this in more open water around points and humps. I also like to cast to drop offs and reel up the slope. My favorite bomber colors are threadfin shad and pear shad,I dont know why it's called pearl it has a green back and side markings. Hope I was able to help give you some ideas and covered the model you are using. The three I mentioned are the only ones I have ever used.
