when im in a hurry i run it out the belly and slide the head over the eye of the hook and the knot it seems to hold a lot better. but i tie up a lot of my gear before i head up i tie my hook on to about a foot and a half of leader then i slide a small bead on the line then i use a needle and then thread on the helgie so the bead rest right up against the helgie inbetween the two tails then i slide on my corkie before i tie it on. i got the tip off of a website of a guy who fishes for steelhead exclusivley. he said with that hook hanging down at the bottom and not being in the plastic you get more hookups. well so far he is right as far as my observation goes i have had more and better hook ups with it rigged this way i posted pictures of it once on here i will see if i can find it.
