The best spooks to purchase in my opinion are not the regular old spooks, puppy's or superspook's it's the one knocker's or the rattling spooks. They have much better hardware and are only a buck or 2 more, the regular spooks have very thin hooks and unless you replace them the will bend or break quite easily while dealing with a decent size striper.
