Good thoughtPete F. I just made a few BM Jrs w/ 2 hooks. Moved the head hook forward and rear belly hook approx 3 1/4" back from front hook. Deepen the hook hole to 3/4" and used 310lb. Krok swiwels. They are flush with the body in order to slide a marginal skin on w/o tearing. I eliminated the tail weight. With the added swivel and 6X 3/0 @ 5grams it made up for the tailweight. Swims great. With tailweight and added hook it was too much to get the proper slow retreive action w/skin. Swims nicely right under the surface.
