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
