Something to do with a better/stronger tide pull further off the sea bed maybe? Works the muppets more vigorously?

I sincerely hope that @JonC doesn't fall overboard, the muppet might get eaten 🤣

Yes, possibly but I wonder if it is also a combination of the bait scent and visibility as the fish had crab and fish in them. If they were grubbing about just on crab I would have expected the lower one to be taken. 

Who knows? A bit more experiment required.

I guess it all comes down to how it all really behaves under water rather than how we think it does. Is the tide such that there is a bow in the line and the lower two snoods are actually on the deck and the upper one is the only one up off the bottom?

I have been having a think about it but no, most of the time I fish them straight up and down. I have trotted them down tide and eventually hit dabs 😆

Another thing I have found when using small, 4" or less, is unless you are using a long shank hook you miss a few more fish than normal.

To counter this I am using either a bead or rig tubing so that the hook bend is about 2/3rds the way down the muppet and it seems to be working so far.
