Great thread. Recently I have been redesigning a few of my builds to use 1 hook and counter acting the loss of the 2nd belly. I spoke at our clyb meeting with Dave Anderson on the worm weight idea. I have used split shot suspended on wire but like the worm weight. This makes existing designs les invasive. That 2nd hook is the damage hook to both us and fish. On the plastic swimmers I am experimenting with inline belly and tail hooks using an earth magnet in belly to hold hook. I have caught schoolies this season on modified mag darters but each hook up was on rear. Seems they hit the plug but miss hooking the front hook but upon hook set the rear inline hooks the fish. Evidence was on one fish the belly single was flipped around on penetrated into the plug back. I would assume larger fish will inhale these plugs and hook the front.
I will start a thread soon on plug forum to get builders ideas on building a 2 hook into a one hook lure and maintaining the action.
