You will hook more fish and they will stay hooked better if you replace the treble w/a Siwash. I have yet to perfect the attachment of the hook tho, I've tried a small split ring, a small barrel swivel and a combo of the two. I don’t like the way the hook kinda cocks at an angle if you just tie the line to the hook, anyone else find a good solution to hook attachment w/b-bombs? I have also used a tandem two hook rig like you would use for mooching and it works well for short striking cohos. Another variation is the two hook rig with a small (needlefish) hootchie, sometimes I clip a few of the tentacles off so it doesn’t affect the b-bombs action too much. Have also tried a Marabou aerofly in place of the hootchie. Recommend you use some sort of scent (I’m partial to Pro-cure products) to cover up any scent from yer hands. I like to use two or three beads instead of the rubber bumper and a bead above the b-bomb and to protect the knot on the small barrel swivel that I attach above the above the b-bomb. Good luck! Oh yeah, when I fish b-bombs I usually use the “count down” method. After you cast it out let it sink for 5 sec.s and then begin yer retrieve. After a few casts try ten seconds, a few more fifteen seconds, etc. Gotta be careful tho cuz they’re a lil expensive to leave on the bottom. As far as colors in Puget Sound (Tacoma south) I’ve found the perch model to work best for Chinook/blackmouth, and the black pearl (and to a lesser extent the blue pearl) to be best for coho. Up north (Bush Pt, Lagoon Pt, Ft Casey, West Beach etc) for some reason the reds and oranges seem to work better
