So I am new to drop shotting...just something I never did. So I'm gonna be throwing one with a 4.5 inch roboworm on a size 4 gamakatsu stinger hook and had a question. I know to Texas rig one when im around wood or grass but what's the best rigging method for not rigging weedless? I know alot of guys nose hook but I saw a video of Aaron Martens where he said alot of the time he threads the worm up on the hook. Which way do you guys do it?

I thread it up on the hook. I used to nose hook it, but you lose the bait almost every fish. Now I catch quite a few on one bait. It doesn’t seem to hamper the action either.

Threading worms on a straight shank works.  It doesn't look pretty but it can really help if the fish are biting short.  You get more action by nose hooking vs threading.  Some baits with a lot of buoyancy can float to the point that they are nearly parallel with the line when they are nose hooked.  Threading the bait on the shank will correct that issue.

Wacky won the Summer for me ?

Either nose or thread works fine.  Just be sure it's perfectly straight.  With a Roboworm, it's the tail moving subtly that seems to work the best.  It's a good "do nothing" DS bait.

I do the same, and agree re: the " do nothing" DC bait.
