hang better from the line,
eyed ones always seem to be at a weird angle from the end of the line.

I normally bend the eye back and treat it as a spade, (dont thread the line
through it) then tye the hook on as I would a spade. they hang straight
that way.

I thread through and then tie as a spade. Each to their own.

Cheerio,
