steve probably has the most experience and hopefully he'll chime in, but I think that the rear hook is important, especially if you fish them relatively fast. it improves the action a bit. but more importantly I do find that I hook a pretty good percentage (around 25%) of my sluggo fish on the rear hook. the way I look at it, it can't hurt to have more hooks and you'll never know what you miss by not taking the time to rig them. why know, you may have missed a 50 the other night? probably not, but what if?
gut hooking them? never had that issue. were you fishing them really slow? the two hooks is probably less important when fishing them low and slow or with alot of pauses because the fish get a better shot at it.
