Is there an optimal way to attach hooks?
When is a hook to far away from the plug or to close?
Are split rings needed?
I tend to not use split rings unless the hook would not move freely or I feel it is to close to the body.
Also I don't think a hook spaced far away from the body is a good thing.
Does it matter at all?
Any opinions?

Same plug, different attachments:
