To rig a paddletail weedless, rig it with a jig or hook similar to Texas style. Place the hook against the bait to get a sense for where the hook will end up. Then hook the head of the soft plastic, turn the hook and insert it into the belly with the hook point buried in the bait. To make sure you actually get the hook into the body of the lure, push the lure forward, move it up slightly, then slide it back over the hook point and pull the bait back. This will get the hook point and barb into the lure, which will keep it from sliding down the shank.
