Drop Shot : Robo Worms - Wacky or Nose Hooked ?

Featured Replies

Starting to experiment more with the drop shot : For the standard Robo Worms straight tail worms (4.5" & 6") , do you prefer to rig using the nose hook method or wacky rig ? My application will be more of horizontal casting the drop shot set up in waters 3' to 10' with say a 14" dropper then working the rig back to me (if that information helps).

Yes ?

 

They both work well. Don’t limit yourself. The one thing I’ll add though is my hookup/landing percentage rigged wacky went up when I switched from a traditional drop shot hook to something with a bigger gap like the Rebarb style hooks. YMMV

i cast a drop shot everywhere, so i texas hook them to help me stay clear of snags.

 

my friend tends to out fish me somedays with the wacky drop shot.   i think the idea is to keep an open mind and try them all out.

Drop shot with Roboworms size 1 Owner Mosqiuto hook nose about 1/4” back or wacky hooked flat side up.

Weedless hooked Drop Shot or Slip Shot; Owner #5133 Down Shot hook size 1/0 for 4 - 5” and size 2/0 for 6” # 6” fat.

PS, casting and dragging back the Slip Shot rig out performs drop shot imo.
