I likes to put one near the head but on one side, with the hooks facing the tail, and one near the tail on the other side, with the barbs facing the head. , so at what ever end the strike come from, there is a hook facing the way you want. I now use only circle hooks, but his method made sense to me. Most will say all strikes come head first, and maybe most do but I spear also and have seen many a decoy hit side on or in the back
I do the same as Whopper Stopper.
