So folks

What are the benifits in the different hook types. ie. Spade end v's Eyed.

I'm tying a tucked Half Blood Knot on my eyed hooks and the spade end knot
as per this site

It doesnt specify how many times that you have to go around the hook, I have
tried between 5 and 10 with the knot becoming less secure the more turns
there are....

I personally have found the tucked half blood both easier to tie and more
secure. One out of every three of my spade knots just slips off of the top
of the hook..

So are there any benifits to either hook type, or are there different knots
that I should be trying, or am I doing it way wrong.
