I hear ya on the prescription sunglasses.

I have had prescription bifocal sunglasses for several years - expensive, but
worth it.

I find that last little tidbit to be great advice Rich. When I moved
into
superlines and discovered and started using the Palomar, I broke off a
couple of hooks due to that very thing, the line (loop) got hung in the
notch of the hook eye, I didn't notice it, and it will fray/nick and
everntually break off right at that point.

That's part of the problem I fixed with the new hook,, no eye notch
(where wire is bent into the other side) to cut the line

That certainly sounds like a good design considering the amount of superline
users out there, and the fact that most all the superlines recommend the
Palomar. I really like the knot personally, easy to tie and appears to hold
up quite well for me.
