I like mine OCD neat....I go to great lengths to rig the hoochy so there is only one hook at the back that does not interfere with the body of the hoochy.
When you use the two hook tandem method the first hook splays the hoochy tentacles around as the hooks twist inside the hoochy due to flasher rotation.
Personally I think when that happens the hoochy doesn't have much of a "baitfish" look any more......
I like it so the water goes over the hoochy and keeps the body as trim, compact and as smooth as possible.
But that's just me......others may become violently reciprocal.....
Franko Manini...I'll try that next time I want to straighten out an insert........![]()
If you are trying to keep the hootchie near perfect shaped, with the hook behind the skirt, do you cut a few tentacles to show some of the insert. Like adding a little extra flash, but keeping a sleek baitfish profile and most of the colour choice of the selected hootchie.
