Vertical Jig - Hook Placement ??

This may seem like a dumb question, but here goes..... What is the best way to rig hooks and/or assist hooks on vertical jigs ? The old diamond jigs come with (treble) hooks attached to the bottom of the jig, but the higher end vertical jigs come with assist hooks attached to the top. No where better to post this question than here. Thanks for your input.

As far as I know, just improvement in design. It has several benefits from what I can tell. First, since the fish hits the jig (not below the jig where a treble hook usually resides), you get better hookups inside the mouth of the fish rather than outside on the face. Next, as the video points out, the jig itself can't be used as a lever to pull the hook. It swings free and you always have near direct contact with the hook. They're pretty proven at this point, so it seems like a good system.
