I am so glad this thread got started. I had all sorts of misgivings about taking the tail hook off. My canal mentor swore that it just got in the way and he never fished a stick shad with one.
I gave it my best shot last year and I felt that my plug didn't have the right action. I am a firm believer in no trebles on the back as I think they injure more fish than they hook. I like to use a 5/0 or 6/0 Siwash which I tie with bucktail or feathers. Sometimes both. That's the way I'm going this year.
