Bomber Long A Jointed

So far I've only used the big jointed version of the long, the B17J Jointed Magnum Long A to be exact. With its 18cm it is quite a bite, but small pike readily attack it and sometimes even a zander. The rattle is low pitched "klock". I believe these are the first plugs produced in the increasingly popular transparent design.
There are a lot of other variants of the long A, there naming follows the following rules: B XY A/J. The first cipher ('X') stands for the diving depth: 1 is the shallow runner, 2 the deep runner. The second cipher('Y') stands for the length in inches and momentarily varies from 4 to 7. At the end there's an 'A' for the straight ones and a 'J' for the jointed models. While I haven't tried much with the other models there do seem to be some very good plugs among them, when you use them in the right situations.
