Could the 10 gram jig and soft plastic in the picture be rigged to be a weedless set up?
I canal fish and there’s some spots with a lot of weeds

Looks like a small turd. And probably not But they have hooks for that. They’re called belly weighted hooks

it can be done, but it’s tricky
if you’ve got a thinner skinnier worm, you could do a sort-of texas rig where the hook point is buried in the plastic, and when the fish strikes, the hook point becomes exposed
but with the thick plastic you’ve got, it’s better to do a ned rig where the hook point is fully exposed all the time: it’s not weedless but it’s got a good hookup ratio

I’m a big fan of the vmc football ewg ned heads. Alternatively rig it up like a tiny Texas rig and peg the weight right to the nose of the bait

There are EWG Ned heads specifically for that. Trying to rig what you have weedless isn’t going to work well
