Notes:
The Bomber Shrimp is designed to be fished for weakfish (sea trout in the
USA), stripers and all other salty nastys that selectively dine on surface
swimming shrimp. This action tends to be at its best near creek mouths
and bridges. Try fishing this shrimp imitation on a floating or slow
intermediate. A dead drift or hand twist with occasional short strip
works well.
