I have switched out all of my rear hooks on Bombers, X-Raps, poppers, etc. with undressed siwash hooks. Does not result in less hookups as far as I can tell and it makes releasing fish much easier, also I find I injure far fewer smallish fish without the rear treble to get caught up in their gills. I have not tried a single bucktail hook yet on any of these, although I plan to rig an A-Salt up that way and try it out. Most of my surf plugs have single rear bucktailed hooks and they work great. I have a feeling that on lighter plugs the bucktail siwash might ruin the action, but we'll see. Two plugs that I did not like the single rear hook on were spooks and mag darters, took too much away from the action.
