The plastic used is less important than the "feel" on the line. The bite is subtitle and takes some practice to feel the bite. When in doubt set the hook. In California, the line is is smaller than in Texas. 8-10 lb line is typical. There is little standing timber in the water. Mostly rocks as the structures. When the line feels heavy, set the hook. I like the stand-out hook for the dropshot. It keeps the hook in the best orientation for a good hook set.

LOTS of variables in your question!!! There's possibly 10,000 baits to choose from so I would ask for some specifics. Lake of choice, depth your wanting to dropshot, structure/cover/flats/points, etc. Sounds like you just don't want to tell him your favorite! Lol. Ok, I'll share then. V&M Pork Pin, 4" Chopstick, and Shakey Shad. Jackall Clone Fry and Super Cross Tail Shad. But watch out because you could get a surprise.......http://www.austinbassfishing.com/forum/black-bass-fishing-reports/44953-drag-stripping-blue-cat.html
