Er, I expect it has a name but I don't recall it. I use the same knot
for spade end hooks or for eyed ones when I want them to stay in line.

For nylon to wi

Fold the last centimeter of wire back on itself. Overlap the leader
end-to-end with the wire, fold it back on itself, whip four or five turns
over the four strands working towards the fold (now a loop) in the leader,
put the end through the loop and draw tight.
