Actually they market their line to fit all kinds of fishing needs. In other words they would work for regular worming, or a dropshot rig, carlina rig etc. You may have to look at sizes and shapes to determine what fits your needs .

They can be good on a wacky rig too. Add a split ring to a senko that way she won't tear up quite as much. Just match the split to the senko at the store and then just put it on..lol

90 % of the time, if I'm using soft plastics, I'm using RED Gamakatsu's Extra Wide Gap hooks .....usually 2/0 or 3/0, rarely do I use anything bigger. Plus, I have a few ocotopus hooks, and use them only for DropShot, which isn't one of my favorite methods of fishin. I gots to learn to be more versatile.......My second favorite hook is the Texposer, I use it on jerk baits and senko's. When I'm really downsizing, I'll use Owner 1/0 or 2/0 offsets for small finesse worms. Thats all I use. OOpps...way past my bedtime...byeeeeeeeee

Dropshot is all I would ever use them for, and I actually prefer just a plain old EWG 1/0 hook. You need more of a rod sweep on these then a hookset like I do IMO of course.
