I usually t-rig with a 4/0 or 5/0 hook depending on the size.

I T-Rig as well with a 3/0-4/0 superline(thick-wire) widegap hook.  If I am going to put it on a jig head I will thread it on an actual jig and use it as a trailer...The bait has such a flat profile might be difficult to keep on a jighead like that, unless the jighead had a wide gap hook molded onto it.

I t-rig them using Owner's pin lock hooks....usually a 4/0

T-Rig, pegged hook. 2 hooks depending on my mood.....5/0 straight skank flipping hook. or a 5/0 widegap.

I Trig mine also with a 5/0 Owner wide gap and run the hook deep enough that when you set the point of the hook it is as close to the end of bait body as possible. I have had alot better success with hook ups that way. I also use a screw in bullet weight in 3/16 most of the time but will adjust depending on situation.

dutton im going to try it  like that. like the idea of the hook at the end of the bait. thanks  for the tip.

Try to run the point of the hook between the eyes

I use the BMF hooks 1 ounce weight if Im punching or 1.25
If Im just flipping I use what ever weight is right for the situation dirty water lighter clear water heavier and 5/0 EWG
