Wobble a Florida Shad Bomber Fat Free Shallow past a submerged stump, and you’re apt to prompt an attack from a hungry largemouth bass.
Before you ever tie on that particular bait, however, you’ll have accomplished something more important, because the Florida Shad Fat Free Shallow is only available as part of a Lure for a Cure Kit, 3rd Edition, the proceeds of which go to the V Foundation for Cancer Research.
Bomber Lure for a Cure Kits feature three pro-series lures in exclusive color patterns and are packaged in a collector’s set. The 3rd Edition Kit includes a Bomber Fat Free Shallow, Fat Free Shad, Jr. and Fat A BO5F, all in colors designed specifically for this kit by professional anglers Terry Segraves, Kevin Wirth and Terry Scroggins.
Past Lure for a Cure Kits have featured Heddon Zara Spooks and Bomber Pro Model As, with colors selected by professional anglers Tim Horton, Sam Swett, Roland Martin, Peter Thliveros and Terry Segraves.
The lures selected are three of Bomber’s hottest crankbaits, and the kit allows anglers to crank ultra-shallow, dive a lure to 14 feet, or work in-between depths. In addition, the lures’ varied sizes and profiles and distinctive wobbles equip anglers for a tremendous range of conditions.
While the pro anglers created each exclusive color with bass catching in mind, many anglers purchase the kits as collectables and have been awaiting the release of the 3rd Edition, according to Segraves, who along with the Kissimmee Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, established the Angling Against Cancer Benefit Dinner and Tournament, where the new Lure For a Cure Kit is unveiled each November.
The limited-edition Lure for a Cure Kits will be available in early February for $13.95 from lurenet.com, Cabela’s stores, cabelas.com, and at tournaments fished by Terry Seagraves and events put on by the Kissimmee CV&B.
