i use #4 rig n' hooks from owner. I started out using #2 gamakatsu offset worm hooks but then found out the smaller the hook the more action you get from the worm. And then i started using 3" worms and got no action from the gamakatsu hook. So i switched to the owner drop shot hooks and started to straighten them out on fish bigger than a lb. the mosquito hooks never looked appealing to me until my friend started using the rig n' hook. imo that's the best hook for drop shot by far. i don't use anything else. the #4 works on 3-4.5" worms fine for me and i can't remember the last time i lost a fish or a hookset. About the sweeping action on the hookset...that might be fine and all but i like to really drive the hook in his ass...doesnt' fail me.
