I messed around with loading the bombers in the early season for fast current fishing. I load the standard 16A or A-Salt with 10-12 Airgun BB's, and found them absolutely deadly. They have a slow sink which is exacly what I wanted.

Its too bad they no longer make the old sinking rebels, talk about a deadly fast current plug...

If you really want to tinker with these things, try taking an A-Salt bomber and loading the middle chamber with 16 BB's. This greatly dampers the swimming action, and causes the plug to have a fast sink, HOWEVER, it gives the plug a really sweet zig-zag darting style swim. Awesome plug in high spring river flows.
