T-Rig Hooks For Drop Shot

[Dypsis]

I am looking to try and T-Rig some worms this year on a drop shot.  Fishing in and around grass mostly. 

 

What hooks do you think would work best?  Light wire?  I was looking at the Roboworm Rebarb Hooks - maybe the 1/0 Lightwire and the 1/0 & 2/0 medium wire.

 

Thoughts?

I use the Roboworm Rebarb hooks and the Trokar Finesse hooks with the keeper.  I normally use the 1/0 and 2/0 medium wire.

I haven't t-rigged on drop shot rigs for a couple of years now.  I've found that  using the Gamakatsu wicked wacky hooks and nose hooking the baits  works great and I fish in pretty gnarly cover sometimes.

 

When I was going with a hook that I could texas rig, I thought the Lunker City Texposer hooks worked the best for me.

The Owner Down Shot hooks were designed for this, and are the best I've found for it.

+1, #5133 size 1/0 is good for 5"-6" finesse or drop shot worms.

I actually use a T-rigged D/S much more than open hook and many of my lake bottoms have a little grass that will foul up an open hook

 

A 1/0 or 2/0 Gamakatsu Offset EWG Worm Hook in Black works well for me.

 

I'll be trying the VMC Ike Approved Wide Gap Spinshot this year - which do look promising.

Awesome, thanks for the responses.  I will defiantly be getting some of those owner hooks - they look great.  

 

A-Jay - the VMC hooks could work wonders, might have to grab a pack of those as well.

Ok, good to know.  I wasn't sure weather to go to a 2/0.  I really want to try the Reins Bubbling Shaker on it.  I am a big fan of that worm.

The VMC spinshot offset hooks have worked really well for me.  I actually cast and retrieve this rig in reeds so I need to T rig the bait. The nice part about the rig is it keeps the bait out of the slime at the bottom.

I really liked the Owner down shot hooks for that but I have to admit the VMC wide gap spin shot is what I use now simply because of the reduced line twist.

I have the #1 owner down shot hooks for this application and they work great. The rebarb is probably a great choice as well, I only have experience with the 4/0 for texas rigging.

I use the rebarbs 90% of the time while drop shotting. If in the grass I would use the medium wire in case you have to muscle a fish out of some nastier stuff. I run them threaded through (exposed) when in open water and t-rigged in cover.

 

I actually stopped nose-hooking so much which some would think is a sin, but with the rebarbs I save so much plastic and my hookup/land is insanely good with them.

I like to use 1/0 gamakatsu offset worm hooks for 3-4 inch minnow type baits.
