Ebbrox Bomb Squad 20g

Overview

The Ebbrox Bomb Squad 20g is a pre-rigged soft-plastic paddle-tail lure from Lazy Lures, supplied as two complete 120mm lures per pack. Each lure arrives ready rigged, with the jig head and hook already fitted, so it can be tied straight onto the line and fished immediately.

Current V2 stock features a permanently bonded head-and-body construction, designed to improve durability during repeated casting and retrieves. The hook fitted is a BKK 3/0 2X-strength saltwater hook, chosen to stand up to saltwater use and larger predatory species.

The large paddle tail is the key to the lure's action, generating strong vibration and an erratic swimming motion that Lazy Lures describes as imitating a wounded baitfish.

Perfect For

This 20g Bomb Squad is particularly suited to UK shore lure fishing, with Ebbrox noting that anglers commonly choose the smaller 20g size for casting from the shore, while the larger 45g version is more often used offshore. It's also documented for wreck, reef and rock fishing, making it a versatile choice for anglers working mixed or rocky ground.

Target species specifically listed by the manufacturer include bass, pollock and cod, with ling, pouting and mackerel also documented within the wider Bomb Squad range. Both shore and boat fishing applications are supported.

Technical Insight

The paddle tail does much of the work on a straight retrieve, producing consistent vibration that helps the lure stand out in the water. Ebbrox specifically recommends adding a twitch-and-pause retrieve to vary the lure's movement and provoke reaction strikes from following fish.

The V2 construction bonds the jig head permanently to the body, addressing durability concerns from earlier hook-and-body designs. Combined with the 2X-strength BKK hook, this build is intended to hold up against solid saltwater species without the head separating from the body during a fight.
