Loop at the top of pre tied snelled hooks?

Post by tylermtech »

What do you call the loop at the top of the pre tied snelled hooks that you can buy. I like the convenience, but I don't really like the hook style. I think maybe a surgeons loop, but maybe something else.

Thanks

Hard to say without a picture but take a look here.

I tend to favor the Palomar for most of my fishing applications.

Im not sure what the factory tied ones are, but I tied up a bunch with the snell on the hooks and a surgeons knot on the top. Hopefully the brookies wont know what hit them!!!!

Sounds like the hook is the weak link in that chain.

Don't forget the pictures. Any recipes with some plate shots might be good too. ;)
