I only use the 9" because of the insane added cost of the 12", but I've found I use them with and without the tail hook. I start out with just the front hook and if the bite is really slow and I'm only getting tugs, then I'll go to the two-hook setup. The two-hook setup will result in more smaller fish. If I want to weed through the schoolies, I'll go back to the single hook.
