The D bombs are the bee's knees. I'll down size to a 3/0 flipping hook for them though. The smaller hook holds them better. I've caught a lot of good fish on them this year. Actually just caught a stud on one Friday. I used to really like the sweet beavers, but the D bombs hold the hook a little better. They fall fast and glide well like the beaver but also have some kick to them on the fall. I've flipped them on tungsten from a 1/2oz to 1-1/4oz. Usually on fluoro. I think the fast fall is what gets you bit more than anything. That fluoro allows it to slide over limbs or grass better than braid. So even if your line is over a limb or two your bait will still fall faster than if you had braid that catches on stuff and slows the fall. I've got a lot more bites than other people in the boat using braid. Just my 2 cents
