When I used to fish Hogy's with the tandem rig I would say 9 out of ten times the fish would make its way up to the front hook. Most times they took the smaller hook it was a smaller fish. So, I started using an offset worm hook on both the 7" and 10" baits including the double wide. 7/0 hook for the 7" and a 11/0 for the 10". The tail of the bait has a little more wiggle which I think would up your strike ratio and if you are really trying to target larger fish only than using the double wide Hogy's are the way to go.

Good Luck.
