What are gold bombers good for?

[LIVE_2_FiSH]

G'day fellas,
recently purchased an A-long gold bomber (the smaller size) and was wondering how to properly use them. can you use them around sandbanks for flatty or are they strictly for the snags. Also, what am i likely to catch, i would be predominantly using it around bridge pilons and the like.
thanks fellas

Golden bombers are the best lures for barramundi.

is the lure a deep runner or surface? theyre good on jacks,flatties, trevs, queenies, barra, cod etc

Just check out some posts by Geoff72, or give him a PM. Was fishing with him one time, we both tried a few different lures each over about 30 - 40 minutes (slugs, hb & sp's). Both put Gold Bombers on and within 2 casts each were on to big taylor.

I got a big cattie on one 2 days ago

They are good lures though and can catch heaps of different fish

i've used them to good effect on mackeral and tailor in the rainbow - the original thin tinned trebles take a hammering though so i usually upgrade to a set of vmc

personally around bridge pylons and the like i'd be using plastics, a prawnstar or a smaller tigher diver lure like a rebel crawdad. At night a popper could be deadly under a streetlight. Around bridge pylons the good fish usually hang in the pressure wave on the UPCURRENT side of the pylons and can be very tight against the structure.

Depends on the model but usually in the 1.5 to 2metre depth range.
Some are shallower depend on bib type and length.

Can't see why they wouldn't work in the shallows. But the trebles should be upgrade if you are chasing serious fish.

Great in the timber in the impoundments in Qld and rivers in the NT. Sometimes it can be the only lure that works on the day.

Just another weapon in your tackle box, but a well proven one.
