Don't forget to push the hook thru the end loop.

You can get 'stiff rigger hooks' also by esp in their 'rapteur' range which have an outurned eye suitable for stiff hooklengths like flourocarbon using the knotless knot.
Both this and the palomar knot are excellent for retaining the lines breaking strain.
