Anyone ever play with rigging the buzzbombs differently?

I used to rig them normal, so they slid on my line, about a foot of line from the hook to a barrel swivel. I thought I got hits on the buzzbomb that I didn't hook, so I started tying the leaders shorter, thinking the fish were hitting the bomb, and missing the hook, because the bomb was slid up the line a little.

So this summer I rigged a couple of buzzbombs on spinner wires, the wires you use to make your own spinners. I put a bead at the top and bottom, and a loop at the top to clip into. They still seem to spin freely, and I'm not sure, I haven't done enough research yet, but I think I get more hookups this way. The drawback is I also probably lose more fish, because the bomb is now more like a regular jig, and when the fish shakes, it can chake the entire lure loose if you're not careful.
