This should help decrease fouling.
I’m thinking about doing a new seminar on ways to tinker with plugs to improve them. It would cover loading plugs, trebles, split rings, droppers, etc. Any interest out there?

I've been able significantly slow tangling by using the new Wolverine #5 splits on my Dannys. It's almost as good as using open-eye hooks; both the small size of the split ring as well as the width helps tuck the hook up close to the plug. I'm tempted to stick with it now despite occasional tangles. The past few seasons I've been running just a teaser on the tail with 2 3/0's on the belly. The fish seem to approve...
A plug tweaking seminar would be great! No one is really doing anything like that, outside of Steve McKenna with Sluggos. And everyone loves that presentation.
