When I first started, I tied em that way thinking that's how they should be and that there was less chance for the lure to come off. I would lift the squeare part a litlle with my nail and slip em on. One day I tied it and noticed I had on in the way I thought it was "backwards" and noticed how much easier it is to change lures. Never considered it would impact chance of failure... not sure if it does. Just know you aren't the only one
