Snake Hook Beginner Questions

What is a good and affordable hook to start off with and where is a good place to get one from? (web sites)

Are they available anywhere else other than online?

I've seen all the different sizes, shapes, styles they come in but are some materials acctually stronger than others and about how much of a difference does it make?

I just want something to help me pick flat boards up or other garbage and something I can handle the snake with.

Oh yeah speaking of lifting up garbage and flat boards etc. I see that some snake hooks are made especially for that but can't you do that stuff with a normal hook.

I'm just tired of finding a snake and having to run off looking for a branch or stick to pick him up with and then by the time I'm back with a branch or stick the snake is gone.

Thanks in advance,
Nick
