Good plastics for wacky rig dropshot

Featured Replies

I wanted to try and start using a wacky drop shot and had some questions. What plastics do you prefer? What hook, and when to use it?  I got a pack of Don iovino 6" worms, some 6" roboworms, trick worms. Would the mosquito hook that I use for nose hooking work since they are smaller bodied worms, or should I use like a neko hook. Would be nice to switch from nose hook to wacky without redoing the rig.

Finesse worms like Iovino and Roboworms can be wacky hooked using size 1 Owner Mosquito hooks very effectively. 

Another good wacky rigged worm is Jackall Flick Shake 4.8 worm.

A senko is fine too. Makes a great dropshot bait, you can downsize to the 3” or 4” if you want a smaller presentation. I stick with the classic dropshot hooks and just go up to a 1/0 if I have a meatier plastic.

Not a fan of wacky drop shot (or most other hybrid attempts). A thin senko thing or finesse worm is what I would use were I ever inclined. It's a slippery slope, pretty soon folks will be wanting to cast umbrellas... :)

I’ve already slipped…caught an 8.4 last week on an umbrella ?.
