If you're bouncing a plug on or close to the bottom, wouldn't the belly treble have more of a chance to snag than the tail siwash?

I always have them pointing down, but I guess its really just personal preference. I would assume always having it down would generally have a better chance of hooking the fish through the bottom lip instead of through the top.

my .02, with all the current, bouncin', banging and the like, i think you'll get'em if you are meant to either way your hook is, up or down. (BTW mine go either way, some up, some down)

I allways looked at it like this

most fish will hit from below with the hook up it wont catch the courners of the mouth.... the shaft will.... point down its the point that will hit

its no ones fault
