What hooks are you throwing on plastics craws?

What hooks are you throwing on plastics craws? I've used keel weighted hooks before with my craws but have always seen that the craw will just sit flat on the bottom, never in the defensive position with it's pinchers! I'm more specifically talking about yum craw bugs. I've had some fish on the keel hooks, I just feel that I would get more fish if it was standing up. I'm fishing around plenty of snags....

So, what hooks?

Thanks guys!!

Gammy offset 3/0 with 3/16 ounce lead bullet...

Alright this is one of the lures that I use A LOT... especially in the summer. I use a wide-gap gamakatsu hook with a bullet weight...

you can texaspose the glock better than any other hook i have tried..

Like spro said, on a spot remover. Sometimes i use a 1/4 oz. and other times I use a 1/8 oz.

If I'm fishing rock or mud/sandy bottom, I'll use a tube style gammy hook. If I'm tossin it in weeds or wood, I'll use a 3/0 Gammy EWG texposed with a 1/8th tungsten screw lock...

I use an offset 3/0 to 4/0 EWG or Gamakatsu hook with a pegged tungstin weight. The weight of the sinker varies depending on my purpose. The plastic is skin hooked of course.

I throw mine on an owner shakey head. The hook is a 3/0 and the weight varies based on the situation.

Thanks guys, I'll get some spot reamovers next time I got to gander, I have lots of gammies and bullet weights!

I have been throwing them on a spot remover or owner shaky head, it seems to get me more strikes than when I t-rigged them.
