Weedless dropshot hook

[Comfortably Numb]

So these Gamakatsu Wicked Wacky TO ME are the best weedless dropshot hook design. Unfortunately the smallest the come is 1/0. And its a big obnoxious 1/0 at that. 

 

A company at least ten years ago made a very similar hook in smaller sizes but not made any more that I know of. 

 

The trick to these is the tube for the dropper that keeps it untangled and bait standing out.

 

So does anyone else make these in smaller sizes or do I have to get the Fly vice out? Ty.

The Gamakatsu G-Finesse Weedless Wacky Hook is currently available for pre-order at TW - and expected to arrive by winter.

So until then you may just have to break out that vise - but you lknow you love it.

I might try shrink tube instead of tieing. Where do I get the lil straw tho?

I make my own weedless wacky and drop shot (and Ned rig) hooks.

 

So break out the fly tying vice! It's cheaper any how. Buy a bunch

of hooks, some leader material, bada bing!

I had these hooks and some shrink tubing. Not my favorite weedguard but should do until the G-finesse are out. I dont think I need to shrink the tubing as it seems to stay OK. And I doubt the flouro would appreciate the heat. Ty

I have that Grammy weedless split/drop shot hook and hate it. They weed guard trend to not stay when cast and ruin the action.

I use Gamakatsu EWG #2 for my drop shot and never look back.

Gamakatsu - Weedless Finesse Wide Gap Hooks

 

With the advent of using larger, bulkier baits these days and quickly becoming more the standard at catching big bass, there was a need for the proper sized hooks for some of the more popular techniques being used. Wacky rigging is certainly one of the more effective techniques to catching bass... big bass! Gamakatsu has introduced and expanded our product line to meet the avid bass fisherman’s demand for the proper sized hook for this style of fishing. The “Finesse Wide Gap Weedless” is already a proven and popular hook for wacky rigging, but now it’s available in larger sizes to handle the larger baits being used!
