Elton John is famous for his, um, how do you put it, colourful dress sense, so the Elton John lure colour is sort of like a rainbow colour scheme. Most makers have one in their range.
I agree with most sentiments here on the gold bomber. It is a great lure, and its bouyancy is not a negative as has been suggested. It just means that it excells at the really shallow end of things. I really like them if there is a bit of timber lying in 3-6 feet of water as you can float them over the snags. And yes they must be gold. My reasoning is all big barra are females and we all know how females feel about gold

They ARE a great Barra lure - BUT for a very specific set of conditions. There are plenty of lures that will catch Barra, and plenty I'd put in my tackle box before Gold Bombers. The best thing about a Gold Bomber is when it gets eaten it's usually pretty visible. They cast poorly compared to many other lures and often have to have their hooks/rings upgraded "off the shelf" - although many you see nowadays have the right terminals.
They're not the be all and end all but they do work.

Marlin Mike,
The 'Elton' colour scheme is on the chart below (03). Fair few other brands have that colouration and call it 'Elton', not just Classic. Good coloured lure to use in clear water for Barra in Impoundments.
Sea Raider - Not much diff between Clifton Beach and Palm Cove mate.

Cheers TT, clears up my query
I am not into fresh water fishing...more a salty myself.....

Up until this year I had only caught one Barra. 2nd Feb set my baitcaster up with braid & a gold bomber & caught 4 in 2 days.
I think they are the best Barra lure because they worked for me.
Always see them cheap at K-Mart.

There are quite a few lures now referred to as elton john colours. They are generally multi coloured clown looking things.
As for Gun Barra Lures the Lively Lure Arafura is right up there with 'em.
