They all generally work well. I prefer Lucky Luras since they are cheaper and have less hooks.

The higher-priced Japanese-made rigs from Hayabashi and others are fine for when fish are finicky and you need some extra edge like having fluorocarbon line or a greater assortment of shrimp/holographic patterns.

The worst ones in my opinion are the larger rubber jigs that are supposed to look like squid.

Also, it doesn't hurt to have an s-shaped hook tool to hold the line taught while removing baitfish.

For storage, I have cut sections of pool-noodle segments that I re-wrap sabiki rigs with so that I can re-use them for no more than 4 or 5 outings. The trick is to make sure you rinse everything after use with freshwater.

Lastly, stay away from the Basspro shops off-shore angler brand.... the hooks are of such inferior quality that they break often.
