Oh yeah, just to clarify....I wouldn't advocate removing the rear siwash if its critical to the performance of the plug. My point was regarding what I think happens when a rear hook is employed, so its neither good nor bad to have one. If one is to employ a rear hook it should have a quantifiable benefit.

As for sticking with the plugs I'm all for it. Many nights I have to choose between carrying a bunch of stuff on a long walk and simplifying by fishing only with eels. Needless to say I'm not pressing a fully effective attack by omitting plugs on many occasions and fishing only eels...I should know better by know.
