How should a tube bait be hooked for use with a drop shot rig?
I have always used jig heads designed specifically for tube baits (like the one shown in the picture linked below). I have been reading more about the drop shot rig and I found the tube bait was suggested as the plastic lure of choice to use with this rig. I assume that the weighted jig head type would not be a good choice for hooking the tube bait since I will already have the weight on the bottom, so how should I hook the tube bait in this situation?

Insert a light (1/16 to 1/8 ounce) lead head jig with a 2/0 hook into the hollow body (push the jig eye through the plastic), cast it on light line and allow it to spiral down to the bass, like a dying baitfish.
You must let the bait fall on total slack line for the proper presentation.
Let it sit on the bottom, then gently raise your rod tip until you feel the bait. If it feels "funny" (i.e. spongy, weighs a little more or less), set the hook!
Lift and drop once or twice, then reel back.
Happy fishing
