when decent fish have been around and i put on a danny, i've rarely had problems w/ fish. if anything, i have a hook bend. since i've switched to vmc's and split
rings on all swimmers in the last couple years, hooks aren't as big of an issue. on plugs w/ 3 hooks on them (2 belly and one rear) i might go a size up on the belly hooks and just put a teaser flag on the rear. i dont want a rear hook swinging around when i try to remove hooks out of a jaw of a bass. i dont want blues, so another reaon for no rear hook. larger bass rarely miss a lure or dont get hooked. every once in a while you may get the belly hooks tangle, but that's the price you pay for that lure. that's been my experience.
