6' is a long reach for a small bait. I use 10lb Big Game and get
several feet out of The Bagley's Bitty B's. Something slightly larger
in the Bagley's is the Craws. They have a couple color variations. But
I usually only get about 4' out of those. A Bitty B with a large lip
might get a bit deeper. Thinner line will get you a bit deeper.
