Peg it. And, a reminder to those who put brushpiles out. Make sure that your lake does or doesn't require a permit to put them out. Some lakes do require permits.

Peg it wars and plastics rigging ambiguity...
I look at it this way; A rig type and a hooking variation are two different things. A T-rig has traditionally been a soft plastic of your choice rigged with a bullet weight on the line and a straight or offset shank worm hook. Everyone knows this. Whether you expose the hook point, skin hook it or totally bury the barb doesn't change that. Everyone knows what a drop shot rig is. Hook it up weedless, nose hook it, wacky style or even wacky weedless. Carolina rig, same. If we are calling a weedless drop shot a T-rigged drop shot then I guess we should then call a weedless Carolina rig a T-rigged Carolina-rig or a weedless split shot rig a T-rigged split shot rig and so on. I don't know why we need to muddle the terms.
My final comment on pegging is this; Pegging a T-rig all the time vs never pegging it are probably equal mistakes.

Peg the weight if fishing brush or flipping/pitching into cover. The leader that is often created can be prone to getting hung when you pull it through the cover. If t-rigging structure with no cover, then I don't peg and the lure often acts like a carolina rig.

The only time that I'll peg it is when I am trying to punch through something on the top.
you know, nothing wrong with seven men who met on the internet going for a swim together
