Most of us bass fishermen set the hook so hard that the little bit of plastic does not not impede the hook at all. Like Culprit, I always go weedless. About the only time I don't is when I am fishing a wacky rig in wide open water.

For dropshot, the distance between the hook and sinker is anywhere between 6" to 2 ft. I usually start around a foot. Experiment to see what the fish want.

Everytime i try to texas rig my senko it rips lol?

well i have the same problem with the Yamammoto senkos, after a few fish and few texas riggs it brakes. But I always texas rig my plastics, unless im wacky rigging. Occasionally i will get a circle hook and nose hooks a worm for a split shot rig.

You don't get much more than a couple fish on a senko. Many times, it's a one and done sort of deal. Some baits are a little tougher and IMHO they don't work as well.
