Cut it! All that top hook does is get in the way of a good hook set.

how low do you cut the hook, do you push the plastic way down or just at the fin?

Hoosier it's not the amount of hooks, it's the placement. The top hook get chomped down on and prevents from driving the hooks home at times. I have seen it first hand. After the fish struck I pounded the hooks home and once the fish was boatside, it opened it's mouth and out popped the bulldawg (the fish was merely biting down on the bait top to bottom, no trebles hooked up. Unreal how a fish can get the entire rubber in it's mouth and not get a treble.
