Just wondering about the angle of screw eyes for the hooks. I imagine most people just put them in straight, but if it's a thinner profile lure and they have to go in at an angle, should they be angled toward the front or the back of the lure? Thanks.

Angle it in toward the back of the lure so whe you get a strike it is not pulling straight down the shank but rather back against the eye ensuring there is no way to pull the screw eye out
