Default VMC Spinshot Dropshot Hook

I love to fish finesse but I have never really liked the drop shot due to all the line twist. I used the weights with the built-in swivels but I still got terrible line twist. I came across the VMC Spinshot hooks and they look very interesting. Has anybody tried it and how much does it help the line twist?

I bought some just to try them out, but it will be awhile before I can do that since bass season doesn't open here until May 26.

I JUST got home from Dicks with a package of these in my Bag, I can't wait to try them out this weekend on the Tennessee River.

I'm seriously considering purchasing an entire Rod and Reel set up just for Drop Shotting. That's how excited I am about this hook!

Haven't used them yet, but picked up a pack of 4's a believe from Cabela's. From just spinning a finesse worm around on it tied up to a couple pieces of line. It still seemed to spin the line more so than the hook around it. May work differently in the field though.
