It depends on the bulkiness of the bait. For this particular bait I use a 4/0 or 5/0 EWG Z-bend hook.

a 4/0 hook works welll with these baits. get the owner jig rig. check them out. weight and hook connected by a swivel. gives the bait a great fall. keep casting!!!

2/0 to 4/0

Use a 2.0 or 3.0 hook size.
Smallmouth also hit this bait well.

I use the Gamagatsu 3/0 offset shank or the ewg 2/0 or 3/0. If I im in a tournament I use the Trokar

I like 4/0 with 5", and 3/0 with 3".

depends on the type of worm (width of body)

i try match my hook sizes tio my bait like 1/0 for aa 1 inch bait or a 3/0 for a 3inch bait

I use a 1/4 oz. mag bullet weight. All depends on the water depth/vegetation. I personally like to use a heavier weight to keep the bait on the bottom.

use a 1/4 oz bullet weight. Either tungsten of lead will work. If you are flipping it into thick weed cover go with a 3/8 or 1/2oz bullet weight.

3/8 to 5/8 tungsten bullet

A 3/16 ounce slider.

I use a black bullet weight or a drop shot setup with a swivel so the line doesnt twist up on you. Weight varies depending on depth and current. Typically I use a 1/4 oz.

i like using the 1/4 oz weight for all my soft plastics.

a flippin weight.size depends on cover and depth.

It all depends on what type of water you are fishing. I personally like Black/blue flake it has been very productive for me and I would recommend it to anyone.

for stained water go with black and blue. For clear water choose a more natural color ie. watermelons or green pumpkin.

Watermelon and my favorite...Junebug

hey vampire orange seemed to kill for me. keep casting!!!

Ive caught most on big texan but id try out different colors. But i bet they all work

I have been using green pumpkin in slightly stained water.

Generally more natural colors such as green pumpkin, watermelon, and summer craw will be more effective in clear water while brighter and more solid colors (electric blue, junebug, black/blue) will work in a stained water situation. I use the Pit Boss for flipping and pitching in thick vegetation and have found that color is not a big factor in that situation.

Yes this is the only way I have fished this bait so far. Very productive for me! I use black and blue flake on a 4/0 EWG hook and a 1/4 oz. bullet weight pegged with a toothpick.

yes! happens to be my favorite method. Rig on a weighted swim bait hook

yes this is great texas rigged. I have found a 4/0 hook works good.

Yes, its the best way in grass or around docks.

I would not..too bulky.

This bait works best on shaky head, but I have used it texas rig which worked good.

I really like the action of this bait on any jig head or a weighted hook rigged weedless.
It works very well with all kinds of retrieves.
The downside for me is that they aren't durable enough.

I fished it T-rigged and flipped shallow water trees, also pitched it in Lilly pads as well.
