Turn more bites into hook-ups with the penetrating power of the world’s one and only surgically sharpened hook! Tested and proven by tournament pros—including 2009 Bassmaster Classic® Champion Skeet Reese—these hooks consistently pierce a fish’s lip with half the force of any other hook. The secret is in the tailored tempering process, which turns the cold-forged high-carbon steel into a deadly weapon with a computer-sharpened 3-sided hook point and just the right amount of flexibility. The bolstered forged wire diameter adds strength to the shank, and the low-profile barb delivers ultimate holding power. Model TK400 is an offset, forged octopus hook with long shank and up ringed eye.
Does it matter which way you thread the fishing line when tying this style of hook? In other words, when you finish tying the hook, should the leader be on top of the eye or the bottom?
If using you standard clinch knot or Palomar or anything similar it does not. I highly recommend using a snelll knot when tying these though, works fantastic adds a little leverage behind it. For my snell I just go in from the top of the eye and tie a unit-knot behind it.
This depends on the type of presentation that you are tyring to create with this hook. If you are bass fishing these hooks are generally used for drop shotting techniques. Try tying the hook with a Palomar knot. If you are fishing with live bait, try using a cinch knot.
