Even though your spinner bait isn’t travelling fast and is big enough to control the trailing hookset it only makes sense to run the two in harmony with each other. The fact that it slides over logs and avoids hooking most of the cabbage is another tertiary advantage.
Have you considered putting a bend on the trailing hook just behind the eye like we do here if we aren’t running a swivel between the two?

No I haven’t tried a different style of hook. It’s one of those things I was taught a long time ago and it works so I just have not changed it no other reason
Next time I pic up trailer hooks I will try ones like you posted just to see if I notice a difference.
