KNOTS FOR
EYE HOOKS
Sixth type
Unlike the previous
knots, which were either
wholly or partly made
around the standing
part, this knot is made
entirely around the
shank. This feature
gives the knot
exceptional grip in all
kinds of conditions. Its
disadvantage is that the
hook always tends to be
at a slight angle to the
line. which is why this
knot is better used on
large hooks or anchors.
