With all these plugs your making, i'd say your hooked! Ever since I started building I rarely fish eels, which is probably stupid.

I can honestly say that I have never caught a bass over 10lbs that has been caught on the tail hook that I can remember.

I fish one location that has an extremely fast current. While fishing this location, The rear treble has allowed me to catch a bunch of decent size bass, high teens to 30lbs, that I feel I would have not been able to land if the rear treble hadn't stuck them along the side of the body. I fish lures in this spot with rear trebles just for this reason.

Front Hook = Bass!
Tail Hook = Blues!
Middle Hook = Me!

I personally fish most of the plugs i build that have two treble's with a flag. Since i build most of the plugs i build it to fish with the tag.

I did three shows this winter and many customers asked me if i could add a siwash to the back of the plug right out of the package. It was not 1 or 2 people it was about 30% of the people i spoke to. Needless to say i added them. Just goes to show you there are many method's.

I like flags unless there is one belly hook then it a siwash but not everyone agrees and we all catch fish.
