I've just in the last year or so been throwing a weightless wacky rigged senko. What hook should I be using? Brand, size, etc

I use a Gamakatsu #1 finesse wide gap hook. My wacky rig hook up and landing ratio has been excellent.

Don't use the ones that have the rubber o-ring installed with the double hook. Forgot the brand but my son tried them for the first time at a tournament which was not smart and I told him not to use them. He lost 4 fish before switching back to his normal VMC hooks he likes.

Eco Pro Tungsten Flick Head I've tried a lot of wacky hooks but this one is by far the best. The hook is sharp and doesn't lose it's point, the weed guard stays straight and doesn't break off, and you can feel more bites because the head is made of tungsten. Not to mention that it's only $5!

I use a Gamakatsu #1 finesse wide gap hook. My wacky rig hook up and landing ratio has been excellent. I've tried 4-5 different ones but always go back to Gammy finesse wide gap with weed gaurd. I use 2/0, 3/0, and 4/0 depending on size of senko or worm.
