Default Re: Hook set

Wanted to add that it does matter with an assist hook style. If your cord is coming out of the eye of a straight eye hook the wrong way, you will miss half the hook sets. You always want the cord coming in front of the eye, same side as the barb. You want to enter from back of hook and come across the front side of eye. If you enter from front side and cross the back, your losing about 60% of the hookset power. This is only for an assist hook though.
