FishnDave - I use bunny strips ALOT and put the hide both up and down, try to hide the hide ( ) sometimes also with trimmed bunny hair or buck tail. Any way you do it... i love zonks and the fish seem to also!

Flygal - All are #4 of some type.... 2 different styles of nymph, baitholder or plain shank - i work with what ever is easiest to get hold of for me. I found some Owner #2 offset (intended for plastics) worm hooks localy that i want to try out as well. Got an idea from a post on another forum to use sickle jig hooks and bend the shank slightly - that sickle would help with my gap problem!
