The small Bombers These are feather-light miniature bombers – but still big enough to benefit from the tube system – They are often at the end of my leader when I fish into warm August days when high river temperatures will leave the wet fly angler fishless. We tie them in many colours, to suit various river systems – We sometimes combine the use of different size Bombers – We may start by employing a big Bomber then to change to a medium or small version once the fish has shown initial interest. SMALL Tube Bomber ™ The smallest * in the Tube Bomber family. Body: 20 mm. (0,79 inch) Total length 40 – 45 mm. (1,77 inches) Equivalent to a Bomber tied on a # 8 -10 hook.
