I tie scuds without any weight added to the hook. A curved scud hook flips the fly upside down (hook point up) when weight is added - not a good thing, IMO.
keeps the hook from dulling so quickly by hitting rocks.

Afish - I'm curious why you feel an upside down hook a bad thing. Can you elaborate?
I tie some of my nymphs this way purposefully - snags less and keeps the hook from dulling so quickly by hitting rocks.
Scuds get tossed and turned like anything else in the current - what do i care if they drift upside down or not...am i missing something?
