Goby Baits & Riggin?

I want to start to fish some goby baits this year. I did buy a pack of the Strike King Goby baits. They are very thick at the head. So my question is how do you guys fish them? What kind of heads? ect. :D

shaky head or drop shot works the best for me.  A c rig might be a good way also.

I use Goby's in rivers, and Lake Erie for Smallies, and Walleye. I put them on a 1/8 oz. gold with eye, or chartreuse jighead.

I tried those goby sleds last year, for some reason they hang up way more than a regular tube head, and the cost too much to be losing 1/2 a dozen or more a day on Erie. A regular tube head works just fine, or on a drop shot rig.

Thanks for the warning. I'll have to pick the spots I use them carefully.

I took the bag of Strike King Goby's that I have and I was tinkering with them after your input. And they do have a spot for a tube head jig and it works pretty good. But with that fat head I don't see how it could be hooked on a c-rig or a drop shot? :'( :-/ :-? :D :D :D What brand of goby baits do you fish?

For dragging on the bottom I use the SK Goby with a tube head, for drop shotting I use the Zoom Fluke tail goby. When I am drop shotting worms or other small baits I usually use a Gamakatsu #1 drop shot hook, buit since these goby's have bigger heads I bump up to a 1/0 DS hook, if I am in weeds I use a 2/0 EWG work hook on the ds, and rig the bait weedless.
