The distance between the two hooks depends on the size of the baits I will be using in conjuction with that trace, eg. if it is a livebait trace then the hooks will be closer together becasue I mainly use smaller baits when using 'livies'....
Whereas if it was a deadbait trace then they would be further apart becasue these baits will be bigger....
the top treble, the one closest to the swivel, is placed into the tail root of the bait and the lower treble into the flank of the fish, basically like you do it
