I'm experimenting with a weedless Twister rig and trying to beef up the hook setup for targeting bigger perch and the occasional catfish.
The river section I fish has a lot of rocky karst bottom and constantly carries grass and leaves, so I’m trying to keep the rig as snag-free as possible.
Do you think this hook would perform better on a Texas or a Carolina rig?

I think that’d be ok on a Carolina type rig.
I’ve had luck with Carolina rigging grubs like this, just make sure and use a swivel between the weight and leader/hook, and not just a stopper. A weedless jig head is still the way I normally fish grubs, but a C-rig can definitely work when bass are keyed in on smaller baitfish, like well, now.
That would absolutely work imo. Split shot rig or Carolina rig with that would probably work exactly how you want it too.
I fish a lot of rivers filled with snags. I usually throw a Texas rig hooked just like this and it works great. I like the gamakatsu g lock hook, but I think this would work just fine too.
What hook size is that ?
Just saw that you listed the hook type. Edited my comment accordingly
Depends on where you fishing
That could work … I definitely would be concerned about the action and if it would be effected with how far back the hook is … but run it and if the tail still wiggles I’d go for it … otherwise I would try a small ewg and see if that works better for you … the important part is you are trying new presentations …
There are jigheads that are weedless. You Texas rig them.
You need the lead to keep it running correctly.
Try the weighted swimbait hooks with screwlock. I use those style hooks almost exclusively in snaggy rivers.
Yup. I use the same rig but in yellow and it works just fine!
