MMMMM I've found that fishing some of the shore rips that run parralel into a boulder feild that when the plug is coming back past the rocks that I get a lot more hookups on the tail hook.Many time with the tail in the mouth an the belly in the lip as the fish is ambushing the plug from behind. a treble may make the difference but on most darters sold they have a treble an not a siwash. Deffinitely something I'm gonna do some testing on. Slack line does hurt but most of those that talk about loosing fish on darters an deep swimmers are pretty good fishermen. Still doesn't explain the higher loss ratio. Interesting puzzle to work out.I'm gonna do some test with the side hook Chris to see how it makes a plug track.
