Little interesting history note on the 6", now 16A, Bomber.
Some 30 years ago the 6" Bomber was a fresh water plug. #2 bronze hooks. We switched out to 4H splits and #2 short shank 3X Eagle Claw hooks. My first 30 lb fish was caught on a Bomber rigged that way. Then came the Heavy Duty 6" Bomber. It had #1 hooks and a slightly beefier tail hook hanger; otherwise it was the same plug. We went to #1 4X VMC's. Now we have the 16A, same plug with 1/0 hooks.
Bottom line - plug swims well with a range of hook sizes.
