Does it matter which way the hooks face?

    Yes.

    As it “swims” forward, the hooks will press up against the body of the lure, so if it’s not oriented like <•J-J< , the tips of the hook will touch the body and be way less effective, practically useless.

    With your hooks in a <•J-J< orientation, when they hug up to the body, the points of the hooks will still be exposed and ready to hook into a fish.

  2. I agree with the other comments, but I can see why backwards could be helpful… At least with dealing with snags an anyway…
