  Why would you want to? What’s wrong with a knotless knot?

  Nothing really its just that whenever the hooklength gets put under pressure, the hair bit always pulls around to one side. Its bno big deal I’m tying hooklengths and being anal as usual.

  rather than going from the bottom of the whipping back to the eye, have you tried partial whipping back to the eye? It’s a bit fiddly, but it might lock the hair in place.

  Put a small bit of silicone on the shank of the hook to keep the hair in place.
