I just wrap a ball of thread on the shank and zap a gap it.Works fine.I also tried weighting the bomber with water to get it closer to the bottom, but it seemed to ruin the action, even with a small amount of water.The lead wire on the hook shank might do the same thing if you put too much, but you need to experiment and see what works.
