Rotated hook hangers on crankbaits

Hi!
Thanks for all the great info here but I have a question that I can't find the answer to.

What is the deal with rotated hook hangers on crankbaits? Does it really make a difference, especially the rear one?
Also, I need to replace trebles with heavier SW friendly ones. For the normal ones, I use Decoy Y-W77, Shout Curve Point 21, BKK Raptor-Z etc. What would you use to keep the hooks in-line, or doesn't it matter? The only ones that I can find are Mustad KVD's and the reviews are sketchy the last year.

For those that are interested I am doing shore based cranking for rock cods off seawalls. Here's a great article with some cool videos https://www.lurenewsr.com/118086/
