After thinking about it sort of depends on the plug. But most of them I normally put them in tail first.
Having said that....Don'tja just HATE WHEN EVERY SO OFTEN THE TAIL HOOK HANGS UP ON THE DRAIN HOLE.

JeeeeeeeeeZ I can spend 10 minutes #^^^^&ing with that thing trying to free it.

I have come to believe it is the fishing Gods

that are trying to prevent me from getting to the one plug I need. When this happens it diverts my attn and I will eventully take off my gear, disassemble it all and remove it . Once it happend twice in one night and I was really PO'ed.
