With respect, the line doesn't need to go through the hook eye at all when using a regular snell to tie onto straight-shank hooks, so there's no rubbing on the end of the eye anyway.
Thanks for the comment ! Really appreciate it ! And you are absolutely correct . However the reason why we thread the line through the eye (side where the hook point is) to allow a better hook up when striking meaning you will pull the hook point against the fish’s mouth . If that makes sense :)
@Fishingknotsfast actually the line on a circle hook should be in line with the shank. This idea of going through the eye to create an angle is false.. you go through the eye of the octopus type of hook because it is bent back so line exits in line with shank... with straight eye either don't go through the eye or use a regular above eye hook.. palomar double uni etc.. I emailed Gamakatsu specifically on this because of all the misleading / conflicting opinions on the internet... This is their reply... quote : Typically for a straight eye hook a standard knot works best. Palomar, Double Uni knot or others you may be familiar with.
@tuberider1171 this is entire email conversation : QUESTION: Dear sir, When using a straight eye (NOT bent back eye) circle hook. Which is the best knot to use I have been told that the line should pull straight in line with the hook and not at an angle , which would happen if I snelled a straight eye circle hook and passed line through the straight eye.

@@Fishingknotsfast Sure does, thanks. I know the correct way to snell a circle hook is to do that too.
