This is a technical question on how to attach the polymer knot to this rather strange hook. The website is: http://ttiblakemore.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67&products_id=283
I am confused on how to tie the knot to the open gap in the hok and yet have the main line travel through the eye to the weight. If anyone has used this please let me know how to do this.

you simply tie a palomar knot to the bend then take the tag end and slide it through the eye. sometimes it is tricky to keep all the line in the bend but its just like some spinnerbaits. i switched from using those hooks to the owner hooks because i kept loosing fish on the stand ups.....i ended up giving them away

Greatly appreciate the responce. I also have some G-su finesse/drop shot hooks to fall back on. Hope those will be a little bit better to keep the hook striaght when I use gobies and Gulp Alive minnows.

ya no problem, and just make sure on the regular hooks to make sure when you run the tag line through the eye, you dont hang it over the knot, because it will cause the hook to twist.
and check out http://nemesisbaits.com/home/ they have the best goby i have ever fished, its soft and salt loaded
