I use the Driftmaster 250's because that's what I originally purchased. They work well and are pretty tough. If I get new ones they will definately be the Hi Teks, fished with a guide that had them and I loved them for their simplicity and ease of hook set. Just grab them and it's like they are not even in a rod holder. Competetive price makes them even more attractive. I know that any of them will work and it's all in what you get used to, but I think Hi Tek has built the better mouse trap. Good luck.
