That's pretty interesting theory there and makes a ton of sense. Never thought of that.
On speed jigs I put a double on the top of the jig or a longer single hook on the top. In the Northeast canyons, I find that hammered diamond jigs work best with a single hook on the bottom. Might have to try the treble hook next time!
