Light spinning gear should handle the 6 inch bomber long A really well. There are a couple of options. You can load your plastic swimmers such as bombers and mambo minnows with water or oil by drilling a small hole and then sealing it off with 5 minute epoxy. You can try smaller wood plugs such as a 1 oz Gibbs Casting Swimmer or small Gibbs darter. With an 8 ft rod I can cast a bomber long A just about as far as a yo-zuri. The jointed long A weighs a little more than the straight back. In my opinion, the bomber is the best plastic swimmer made. You can also try the Gibbs Stubby needlefish. While its not a swimming plug, it catches fish.
