Default Drop Shot hook help

I would appreciate some suggestions for a drop shot hook. I have not found
one that I really like.

TIA.

I nose hook at least 85% -- maybe more like 95% -- of the time these
days, and my top choice is the Gamakatsu Drops Shot/Split Shot hook
(style 50409) in a #2. 2nd choice is a #4 Gammy Wide Gap Finesse hook.

For T-rig drop shotting with traditional drop shot gear, there is
absolutely no substittue for a Decoy Worm 9 Uppercut, also in Size 2,
(which has no relation to a size two in the nose hooking bait). The
Uppercut hooks are incredibly thin wire, but I have never straightened
one on a fish while drop shotting. Of course finding them in the states
is a bear.
