I use Stand-out hooks in #1. You can find them at Bass Pro. They are designed for dropshotting and work real well.

I caught a 1/2 dozen or so unders at rr a couple of weeks ago using mustad 'drop shot' hooks in #2. Scarred me at first going that small, but sure was fun.

What about the circle type hooks, will those work just as well?
They do look small though.

small is good 1/0
usually am using weights smaller than 1/4. I sure like the Tru Tungsten DS weights, but sure hate to loose one.

depending on what worms I am using...zz 4" custom (zzcustomlures.com) or roboworms I am using either a size 1 or 1/0 gamakatsu drop shot hook. I have had great success with both.

I looked at some last night and boy they look small. I got the #2 hook. I just think that sucker is small.

What are some good plastics to put on there?

1/0 Gamakatsu straight shank worm hook, rigged texas style. I like to pair it up w/ either Zoom finnesse worms, roboworms, or wacky rigged Chomper's salty sinker. smile
