I gots me a question. Dad and I were talking (doesn't happen all to often) about dressed tail hooks the other day. I said I needed to tie a few dozen for some plugs and he said just leave 'em plain. It got me thinking. I've always tied bucktail onto the rear siwash. Then I looked at Salty's plugs I had hanging on my wall o fame and saw he didn't have bucktail hooks on them. What are your thoughts. Dad seems to think it would effect the action of topwater and cause the lure to tumble on a cast. I said it was adding a sort of tail fin flapping back and forth.
Personal taste or is there some sort of logic.
Geesh....I gotta stop thinking....my head hurts now!
