I buy whatever one is cheap, use it one day and toss it because of tangles.

Sabiki's are like toilet paper, use it once and toss it.

I usually do what Danno does, I've never had a Sabiki come up with more than 2-3 dines or macs so I don't think there is a need for six hooks. I believe 3 is plenty enough, it also prevents tangles and decreases the chance of other hooks getting caught on you. I usually buy whatever is cheapest.

I use a 5 hook sabiki. 3 or 4 is probably better, though. If you ever pull a full string by the time you get to the 5th fish it's been out of the water a bit, and chances are you've tangled up somewhere.

Walmart has some cheap ones. I only use a sabiki for 2 or 3 trips then throw I it away- It's usually thrashed by then.

I bought a sabiki rod on either Amazon or eBay, I forget. 50 bucks (ish) and it works pretty good. You can do without a rod, but that's all personal preference.
