The Road to Perfection
Bomb's Development Year by Year
2011
First prototype
The story of Bomben begins in 2011, when we created our very first prototype.
To develop the perfect model, we made countless prototypes in clay and plaster molds, so that we could cast in metal. The model was refined step by step, and with each change, we created new molds until the shape of the lure was exactly as we wanted it.
Our vision was to create a lure that combined casting distance, perfect action, and a design that truly felt right. After countless adjustments with hooks, split rings, colors, and small spinning spoons, our ideas began to take shape and laid the foundation for what would become Bomben.
2012
Baitbox bombs are born
The following months became a journey of constant improvements and adjustments. We tried different weights, balance points, and materials to find the optimal performance. The goal was clear: to create a lure with exactly the casting weight, movement, and aesthetics we dreamed of.
In the end, we had developed a model that felt as close to perfection as we could get. It was that model we chose to create silicone molds for, so that we could finally produce more copies in succession.
2013
Launch of the first collection
The intention was never to sell the Bomb – we created it for our own sake.
But after more people saw the Bomb shine in our YouTube videos and reached out to get their own copy, we decided to make a small collection.
We never thought the Bomb would become a bestseller, but the first collection sold out in no time, and interest only grew as more anglers wanted to get their hands on this little spoon lure.
2014
A drag workshop in the kitchen
To meet the increased demand, we persevered, with countless evenings and weekends dedicated to lure casting and painting at home in the kitchen. Standing by the stove and pouring lead, only to sit at the cutting board and paint each lure, quickly became a challenge – good thing I had an understanding partner!
To manage the rising pressure, we began releasing the Bomben in limited collections on a first-come, first-served basis.
This made the lure even more desirable among anglers who wanted to get their own Bomben.
2015
Explosion on Social Media
The Bomb quickly grew in popularity among anglers passionate about trout, char, and rainbow trout. Soon, the #baitboxbomb was seen everywhere on social media, where fishermen shared their catches of large and numerous fish.
More and more showcased their successes, and the interest in our little spoon lure really took off. It inspired us to continue developing and improving the Bomb with feedback from our growing community.
We heard stories about how the only one in the group fishing with the Bomb was often the one who caught fish – while the others could come back empty-handed.
2016
We are scaling up with new molds
In 2016, we made a significant investment to meet demand. We ordered new metal molds and completely rebuilt the production chain to streamline painting and be able to finish more baits at the same time.
This allowed us to significantly increase production, but despite the improvements, we still could not meet the growing demand – the Bomb had become a real favorite among anglers.
Visions for the future
Improved quality and new collections every year
We have now accepted that we may never fully meet the demand – and that is probably just how it should be.
The Bomb is an exclusive, handmade lure, far from a mass-produced throwaway product. Every year we update the colors and release new collections, always focusing on refining and improving.
We continuously experiment with new techniques to enhance both appearance and performance. Our goal is to, year after year, deliver a lure that exceeds the expectations of every angler who uses it.

It says that the bomb is sold out?
No, if it says “Out of stock” there are no bombs for sale. Before a bomb release, it may say “Out of stock,” which means that we have not replenished the inventory yet.
I was thinking of buying the bomb to resell and earn extra money from your work, is that OK?
It doesn't feel right! The Bomb is available in a limited edition and we want to sell to those who buy it to fish with the lures. If you buy to resell, we reserve the right to cancel your future purchases and not sell the Bomb to you in the future. More information about this can be found in our Purchase Terms

The story of Baitbox bombs
The story began in our teenage years when we became quite obsessed with trout. We often fished with smaller spoons as they have many great qualities… but we were never completely satisfied with either the action or the appearance of the lures we were using.
We changed hooks, repainted the lures, added extra split rings, tweaked with small spinners, eyes, and more. Eventually, we got tired of it and decided to develop our very own lure and make it EXACTLY how we wanted it.
After many months of hard work and testing back and forth between different models and designs, we came up with a lure model with an optimal casting weight of 12g and fantastic action; this is the model we chose to call BOMBEN.
And in hindsight, we could never have dreamed of how great the result would be! A catch magnet like no other, and we have achieved many new personal bests thanks to the bomb. But don’t just take our word for it; listen to all the others who also fish with the bomb and tag their catches on Instagram.
The Baitboxbomben is specially developed for fishing for trout, char, and rainbow trout, but of course, it works on other species as well.
All Baitboxbombers are handmade and are also made of tin, which means they are completely lead-free! Good for you and good for the environment! 🌱
