Are circle hooks an ok substitute for a drop shot? Was looking at trying a dropshot out but I really don't want to drop cash for hooks and everything else when I've already spent a ton...

Was looking at trying a dropshot out but I really don't want to drop cash for hooks and everything else when I've already spent a ton on other rigs.

I have some circle hooks, some old J hooks, and the generic type of hooks you'd see for bass fishing (EWG, wacky hook etc).

I was wondering what kind of hooks you guys would use on a makeshift drop shot. Primarily for nose hooking small gulp minnows and perhaps roboworm type baits.

I use circle hooks for almost everything.

You could use every hook you mentioned as long as it fits the bait you'll be using🐟🎣😀👍
