I use either store bought or homemade but the prices have been getting higher on the regular bottom rigs. They tend to vary a little on how they are made. I hold off until I find them with the bottom hook wire up some away from the sinker snap and good spacing between the top and bottom hook wires, there is less hook tangles. I also suggest trying a few before buying them in bulk, sometimes they have bad crimping and it's the whole batch.
A Google search on tying or making double hook bottom rigs will give you some good ideas on how to make them yourself. You can get the hook wire and make the store bought kind, they are called hook lears. Your crimping has to be just right, too tight and it will cut the wire and break, too loose and it will slip or come apart.
