I used a split ring and attached a Gami. treble hook. With the 6" bait I felt that the hook was in a good position and did not need to be placed any farther back in the bait. Have you had any problums getting the bait to swim? The ones that I have didin't swim unless I retrieved them very fast, and I had to slit the sides to get them to swim at a slower speed.

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous
