Yamamato Senko or Zoom Centipede.  I would suggest staring with the 5” Senko.  These weight slightly less, yet have enough weight to skip well.  If you pick a centipede, either use a 3/0 to 5/0 hook to give a little more weight, use a pinch on weight, or press a small nail into the tip to add weight.  Don’t add to much weight, as this will nullify the skipping ability.  Also, don’t use a Texas rig.  Either no weight at all or very light weight, less than 1/16 oz, Florida or peg to weight.
