I use the cylinder-type drop shot weights, and the shortest I can find. Also, I'll make sure that the treble is affixed in such a manner that one of the hooks faces straight out from the body. This makes lines the hook up (in relatio. To the body) where one hook is lined up with o ne side, another lined up with the other side, and third hook lined up with the bill. This, in my experience, is what allow the weight to be relatively a no factor. The weight slaps the body, but is between the hooks that are straddling the body.
I sure hope this makes sense.
