If your doing double belly hooks You don't want hooks locking up with each other on the cast .. Or rear hook locking up with a tail hook ..
1.5 inches from the front is a good starting point for ur hook hole..
3 1/8 from there 3/0 hooks won't tangle as long as ur swivels don't hang to low.
U might have to do some off set drilling for the front swivel for this on some designs..Details..U might have some basics.. Making good plugs is all in the details..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
