Hooks/weights Suggestions?

[SteelheadJones]

Hey Everyone,

 

Looking for some assistance on a few rigs I am going to try and focus on this year.  I am looking for sizing help on hooks/weights for the following setups:

 

Super Fluke (weighted or weightless?)

Texas Rig (thinking of doing this with a Roboworm but open to any suggestions)

Drop Shot (again thinking Roboworm but open)

 

Red hooks?  Tungsten over lead?

 

Thanks everyone

For super flukes 4/0 and weightless most of the time, keel weighted hooks are good to go deeper and faster fall and I have seen and heard scrounger jig heads are also good ways to work this bait.

 

Texas rig hook size depends on your bait. anything from 2/0 to 5/0  I personally wouldn't use a Robo worm. I like to Texas rig weightless senkos 2/0-4/0 EWG, trick worms(maybe robo) use a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG or Worm, zoom centipedes 2/0 EWG, grande bass rattlesnakes 3/0 or 4/0 EWG or Worm. I rig weighted with 1/16 to 1/4 oz bullet weights baby brush hogs 3/0 EWG, ribbontail worms 3/0 to 4/0 EWG, lizards 4/0 EWG, grande bass rattlesnakes 3/0 or 4/0 EWG or Worm

 

I don't do the drop shot....

 

I pick lead, because it is cheap and expendable. BPS and Walmart have cheap lead bullet weights the BPS are painted.

 

Usually use black nickle colored hooks.  Owner are my favorite, Gammies are number two but BPS XTS Magna EWG hooks are good and best bang for the buck so for sizes I use a lot, 4/0 I use them.
