I like the roboworm rebarb hook. It’s a Gamakatsu hook and either comes in a light or medium wire

The Rebarb is a great hook, and there are several finesse hooks with keepers available these days from all the major manufacturers. That said, I pretty much always use a 1/0 offset worm hook (not round bend) with regular wire. My favorite were Daiichi because they have great points, small barbs, and strong wire for its diameter, and fortunately, I still have a bunch of them, but any quality hook of this style will do. I should mention that I believe strongly in reel setting with C-rigs since the weight creates slack and odd pulling angles with a conventional hookset. Since my hooks work pretty much every time for that technique, I haven't bothered to try other hooks.
