What hook do you use on Alabama Rig for lightweight A Rig set up? I'm going to play around with hooks instead of jig heads.

You looking for a lightly weighted belly weighted hook? For a weedless presentation? This is what I use for my standard set up (From Gambler Lures) Will get back to you on the belly weighted hook if that is what you are looking for. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/05/full-30144-52558-gambler.png)

I have rigged them weedless like a texas rig. Come through cover but you miss some bites.

This is what I use for my standard set up (From Gambler Lures) Will get back to you on the belly weighted hook if that is what you are looking for. I'd like to put a 4" swimsuit on 4/0 , looking for what may work best to keep the weight down, a screw lock or maybe light belly weight. Have you done that? I have rigged them weedless like a texas rig. Come through cover but you miss some bites. Did you use a straight shank round bend ?

A quantity of five four inch swimbaits on an Arig will have plenty of weight.
If you aren't using jig heads, I'd use a belly weighted screw lock hook to keep them running true (keep them from spinning).
