I agree

Im a strong believer in tail hooks instead of flags/tags.

On my plugs I always use a siwash instead of tags. On my version of the cowboy I use one belly hook and one 6/0 siwash. Most of the fish came on the rear hook. Same deal with the larger danny I make, two trebles and a siwash.

As I do build my own plugs i will tinker with weights and hook placement just so i can use a siwash or even a treble in some applications. And to make sure the trebles arent going to foul, cause they only foul on the perfect cast.
