I personnaly use 4/0 or 5/0 gamagatsu extra wide gaps on senkos and tiki's. Partially for a little faster fall rate but mostly for hook-ups. My percentage of hook-ups seems much better than with anything smaller.

when I know I won't get hung up on moss or anything like that, I use a 2/0 straight shank round bend hook and nose hook the tiki/senko/whatever else there is. If I'm fishing in water where I have the possibility to catch on anything, I use a 3/0 EWG light wire hook.

For Me(Lizards) I use a Owner 2/0 or 3/0 EWG hook. For Tiki's/Senko's I prefer the Gammy 4/0. I will prefer the bigger size personally just like skeeter. The only time I use a 1/0 hook anymore is fishing a drop shot. Bigger is better in hooks IMO
Lizards

I use extra-wide-gap in 3/0 and 4/0 for 4" and 5" Senkos, respectively. Brands I use have been VMC and Gamakatsu and Eagle Claw, but I could feel comfortable with almost any brand whose hooks are sharp.

Owners or Gammies and always use the biggest hook I can get away with without hampering the action of the particular bait in use.
