For the drop shot experts, Do you tie your own hook or do you use the pre rigged Drop shot rigs like this?:

I use the stand out hook it works well for me it also comes in red

I tie my own - surgeon snot to hold the weight, then a simple dropper loop to whatever hook I want. Usually an octopus style hook, but I have done them with my standard 2/0 offset EWG hooks for larger worms.

I usually thread the hook right on the dropper loop
 
I also tie my own. I use a regular size #2 octopus style hook, and 6-8lb fluoro most of the time. Then, I tie a palomar or a clinch-like knot and add a 1/4 to 1/2 oz. dropshot sinker, usually a Lunker City Bakudan.
 
I tie my own. Palomer with a really long tag end for the hook, and a clinch knot for the weight.
