On the plastic swimmers I am experimenting with inline belly and tail hooks using an earth magnet in belly to hold hook. I have caught schoolies this season on modified mag darters but each hook up was on rear. Seems they hit the plug but miss hooking the front hook but upon hook set the rear inline hooks the fish. Evidence was on one fish the belly single was flipped around on penetrated into the plug back. I would assume larger fish will inhale these plugs and hook the front.
I will start a thread soon on plug forum to get builders ideas on building a 2 hook into a one hook lure and maintaining the action.

There are two factors, one the weight, most known, second is the drag which is not significant - I used to wrap some solder to the middle belly hook for a little of both
