I think you'll do good with that size,size doesn't matter(thats what she said) i've caught plenty of musky on a 3" gulp fry drop shotting and some really nice walley as well i have the 6.75" mold to i just haven't had time to fish them yet,i dont think i'll trig mine,i will run the line through the bait put a sinker on the line and a line stop and then tie my hook and leave it in the skirt of the bait,it might be time consuming to tie this way but in my mind you may hook more.
