Drop-Shot questions

Used dropshot for the first time yesterday at a very small, somewhat clear, highly pressured public lake, and was able to pull a tiny .5lber in.

Now I've got a few questions regarding dropshot.

Can you use mono? I used mono for my catch last night (12lb Sufix elite), which might be enough to convince someone that mono can work... however since it's such a weird little lake, I don't want to have confidence in it just yet.

Size of bait? Specifically... can I use a 5" Senko or other 5" stick bait? I've read about people using short Senkos wacky rigged, but can they be nose hooked?

Can I weedless/Texas rig the 5" stick baits, using a EWG hook? What size hook should I use if I can do this? Will 3/0 work?
