steelie 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 Good Day, Swinks1966.... makes perfect sense to me. Even though I fish nearly all of my streamers with a loop vs. a knot tight to the eye, this seems to make perfect sense. Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeFish 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2005 glad it made sense to someone. in the end, it probably doesnt matter at all, and it is more a factor of you setting the hook with the proper timing. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
appalachian angler (tn.) 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2005 I think it matters depending on the pattern. IE. Clousers. I prefer the down eye ( acutally inverted and "up") because I believe the swim in a way truer to the natual than with a straight eye. AA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
