Unlike the EWG and The Worm Hook, the Drop-Shot hook is not designed for T-Rigging, but rather it is designed for exposed hook finesse fishing tactics.
Techniques like drop-shotting, split-shotting, wacky rigging and other light line, exposed hook tactics, are where this hook excels.
It is made to either nose-hook a small, thin bodied plastic bait (Finesse WormZ, Finesse ShadZ), or hook a worm through the center in the case of a wacky rig. Its diminutive size is one of the reasons it is so effective as a finesse hook, because the fish tend to pay it no attention, and it also works well with light line.
I use a TK 150 hook in 1/0 or 1 sizes, and I only use lighter line- like 6-10lb Vicious Pro-Elite Fluorocarbon- with this hook.
Though there are always going to be special situations where a unique hook design is needed, if you are looking for just three hooks that will cover almost all of your fishing, these are three you need!
Hope this helps you to keep things simple, so you can focus on what matters- the next bite!
Seek the bite!

Living in an area that doesnβt have a winter season can seem like a blessing to boaters. You donβt have to worry about winterizing your boat or protecting it from the snow and freezing temperatures. However, living in sunny climates can also be a bad thing for your boat. Constant exposure from the sunβs UV rays can cause damage to different parts of your boat, resulting in avoidable repairs and costs.
