now that is interesting, to say the lease, I have been thinking of a way to use a little bigger hook on that rig.

That's really cool!    That would work with just about any type 90 degree jig hook in fresh or saltwater! 

Capt Ken, you're weed guard tip is pretty neat also!

Keep 'um coming!

One of the best tips I've seen on here. 

I fish Lake Lanier in GA and if you can't dropshot then you aren't competitive.  I've been using a palomar knot and get the hook upside down half the time.

Me 2.....sometimes takes me 2 or 3 times to get it right.
This is a great tip, I just need to find some of those hooks in Korea

Capt Ken,
   Looks like a good setup, but I don't know what you mean about snelling the hook, is that just a series of twist and that is it?  I would like to try this knot but I want to be clear on how to tie it.

Nope, not the knot I use.  I do not go through the eye of the hook.

capt ken, is it the same knot, but WITHOUT going through the eye ??

Re: 90 degree jig hooks in Korea.  You can bend almost any hook.

I'll give it a try

What do you guys use for drop shot weights?  I never bought one myself.
