Probably the best I've been using are Gamakatsu Split/Drop hooks - they're thin wire, penetrate extremely well. That's not to say the Hayabusa didn't do that, because they did. I just lost confidence after the breaks. And IIRC, the breaks happened at the first or second bend after the barb.... I also use Gammy Finesse Wide Gap, but they're a thicker wire than the Split/drop. Have yet to try Aaron Marten's new Gammy hook based on the Split/drop.

Bought them from TW...they didn't work well for me, broke two of them. Either a bad batch, or design. I'm a finesse guy, so I'm not usually breaking hooks...

They're the easiest ones to catch, too! They see the pretty senko dropping down and say "Oooh, guys, they're here to take me again!! I told you they are real!!" The rest of them shrug it off, roll their eyes and swim away, while Billy takes the bait.

HD for tools, lumber, etc. So about 95% for me. HD, Lowe's literally across street from ea. other where I shop, no Menards. Lowe's for some stuff, store card gives 5% off... Bought a Kobalt miter saw and stand on sale there last month. So far very pleased with it. Milwaukee M12 tools for me. Best tools I've ever used. Have a 40v Ryobi weed whacker (about 3 years old now) that does the job on my ¾ acre lot, and a fairly new 40v Ryobi chainsaw that is also quite good for what I need it for. Same company that makes Ryobi also makes Milwaukee, and a few other brands. Ryobi can be bought thru Amazon, as well. Though I don't plan to buy any of their tools, except maybe the 18ga brad nailer at some point.

Good advice/questions above. I'll just welcome you to the forums where you'll learn and become a better fisherman! Do read the articles here and watch Glenn's videos, as well. Lots of good stuff there, and of course, among the savvy, smart (most of 'em, anyhow) peeps here .

Welcome aboard, @Pikeman12! I don't do tournaments, but I wouldn't hesitate to enter one with my spinning setups. And I use 1000 size Stradics! I also use shorter rods, not so popular today as they used to be. So I'd start your search at 6'6". Have a read at this article. FLW pro that uses only spinning gear, he's won tournaments, and Angler of the Year, too. https://www.flwfishing.com/tips/2014-04-22-going-big-with-a-spinning-rod
