Interesting. The Mag Darter is the one smaller plastic that I have found is greatly improved by adding a dressed siwash rear hook. IMHO.

Thanks for the replies plankton and emgred. I will have to do some re rigging before the season starts. Probably right after MikeCC's sale.

I just tried it with an undressed siwash and didn't like it, but I'll have to try using a dressed hook and see how it works.

I think the water resistance from the bucktail is what makes the difference. For me the two plugs with the most marked improvement from adding a dressed siwash are the Mag Darter and the SS sinking Littleneck.

Swimmer or popper? I switched my popper's rear hook to a dressed siwash and I love it, made a great plug even better, have not tried it with the littleneck swimmer though.

That would be the sinking Littleneck Popper.
