Needlefish Bucktail Feathers or Not

I usually use a single 5/0 or 6/0 hook as the tail hook on a needlefish. I put bucktail and or flash and hackles on the hook because I feel that it adds to it's fishyness.

I am fortunate to have a friend who is a real good fisherman. He fishes a naked treble as the tail hook on his needlefish. A few weeks ago fishing side by side during a 4 days of good action I saw no diffence in the fish catching having feathers or hair on the tail hook.

How about a single vs treble tail hook. I live the single because it makes it easier to unhook the smaller fish which seem to hit the plug from behind more times then not.

What do you people think?
