[black][size 3]Yeah TubeN2, I also use a variety of hooks for different applications. I like the Kahle, circle and octopus hooks for the specific advantages each one has. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Also, any time I use a hook with a turned eye, I tend to use a snell knot for the straight pull. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]If the hook has a straight shank, I will sometimes use other knots as the case may dictate. For example, when I am carp fishing a hair rig with a hook that has a straight shank, I'll use a knotless knot. If I am bottom fishing with that same kind of hook for catfish, I might use a palomar knot.[/size][/black]
