Ok TFFers,
Next question in my quest to implement spinning tackle into my arsenal is this:
What size hooks for Wacky Senko applications around heavy cover such as cypress trees, hydrilla, pads, and giant salvinia?

A 1/0 Gamagatsu finesse whacky hook with titanium weed guards. I think they are called "G-Finesse".

Steez has good taste in terminal tackle. Those are great. Another really high quality weighted wacky head is the Zappu Inchi Wacky Head with or without weedguards. Pick a weight based on how deep you are fishing, how fast you want it to drop. Brad Zappu Inchi

any problems with the weedguard breaking off? I recently bought some generics and the weedguard breaks after a couple of fish. I now have weighted non-weedless wacky rigs.
I've been considering the ones with the fiber weedguards, so I'm curious how these are holding up.

It wrapped around the line, and ripped off when I was pulling through a submerged treetop that I wasnt expecting to be there. Usually they last just fine.

I've used these a lot and they are strong hooks. They still get caught up fairly easily but they help slide off the brush. For the price, it doesn't get much better.

I like a 2/0 or 3/0 best in any of the above mentioned types. Depends on cover type and condition.
