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.

I am new to this site, but if you want to experiment with something else try a strip of rabbit tail, looks like an eel when it swims thru the water, only concern are tail wraps. Try the magnum strips for larger lures or on bucktails.
