Luds... The reason I don't put a rear tail hook on the 5/8 oz needle is because a 2/0 or 3/0 siwash would be the match for that plug, and I don't have a lot of faith with that hook and a decent fish. The reason I don't put it on the 2 oz needle is I don't think that it is really necessary with the rear belly hook. But I know people do want the rear siwash hook and put it on themselves. Thats cool. If I didn't buy a plug because of the hooks on it, I wouldn't own a whole lot of plugs.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
