Personally I like to use jigs that my brother ties
that are painted out in vinyl. He hangs them in a way that gravity causes the paint to coat the hook eye. I poke a small hole thru the paint and eye allowing line to pass. While cinching up the knot I make sure that it will be positioned in a way that allows for that horizontal glide. I have heard many negative things about vinyl but I tell you what when done right and in a patient manner with multiple coats the deep finish and chip resistance can't be beat.

FJ...out.
