What is the best all around drop shot hook and what size. Looking to try on one hook for dropshoting. Thanks

I've got two that I use. The tried and true Gamakatsu Finesse in size two. 9-10 times the hook point is buried in the top lip and the hooks are so sticky sharp.
The other favorite of mine is the Spearpoint GP finesse hook in the same size. It's unique design hold the smaller baits really well. Its a thin wire hook. Again super sticky but I've had a few break trying to get them out of the top of the mouth.

Decoy Shot Rig and the A-Mart Gammy G-Finesse are good. Believe imuse 2 the most.
I like the vmc redline size 2 for nose hook and roboworm rebarb for Texas rig.

Gamakatsu finesse in size 2 for me. This hook in a size 4 is also amazing for trout fishing with power eggs (3 on the hook).

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.

All brand’s aren’t the same size
For me it’s a Gamakatsu DS hook
1/0 works for 3” nose hooked worms, 3-4” goby’s and 4-5” wacky senkos

The Decoy Shot Rig is an amazing hook. You almost never lose a fish on this hook.
I guess the question should be what are you using for baits on the drop shot.
If drop shooting a 5 inch worm or senko then I would use the Roboworm Rebarb Hook. You can rig it weedless or through the bait.
Owner Mosquito “light” size 2.

This year used the Mosquito light as well but have used owners as well. Don’t Mind the hooks with the cheaters also.

Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
I rarely T-rig a DS. The Decoy hook is for those smaller 3/4in shad shaped baits, like the Yamamoto, or just a finese worm. I'd have to double check that size, I think the Decoy hooks are way undersized for the size. Another less known one I really like is the Samatis Shot from Samatis Baits.

Owner Mosquito for me. Size varies depending on the bait.
I swore off the Gammie DS hooks after a couple broke on fish. Never had an issue with the Owners
Roboworm Rebarb Hook
These hooks haven't let me down yet.
Been fishin' since I was 5 years old...Thanks Grandpa!
Depending on how the weeds are. Gamakatsu G lock for weedless
