  There is a picture of the Gamakatsu Whacky hook that Larry G. mentioned. As this is not a "circle hook", a regular "cross their eyes" hookset should work, maybe at the expense of being a bit more snag-prone. I'll have to try it, if I can find some.

Edit: I found some of these hooks at the GI Joe's on Benson Rd., E. Kent. Auburn S&M has more sizes, tho. Note that if you check at SPORTCO in Fife, if they don't have what you want on the shelf, you can talk to the clerk, get them paid for, and walk 'round back to the Gamakatsu Warehouse customer pickup door, and get your goods.

As some of you that have fished with me, ie Bill B, I have alot of confidence in the wacky rigged senko.  Potholes tourney last year, I caught 90 % of my fish with a special Mustad weedless hook with a wacky rigged senko.  I have shown some this hook.  It very weedless, I was pitchin it into thick brush in the dunes for two limits of Largemouth on day 1 of the tourney.  It is OK for skipping, but does have a tendancy to just plunge into the water if not skipped from a good skipping cast.  What I liked about the special hook, is the weedless characteristics and the little extra weight in the bend of the hook to help get the senko to the bottom.  I then just SLOWLY crank it along the bottom.  Not hopping or twitching it.  Just slowly turn the reel handle over to move it.  VERY deadly on smallmouth.  Hope that helps.
