I'd use spate hooks more if they were not so troublesome to tie. Notice I didn't say difficult.
I recently brought a new type from Drennan that you need three hands to use. Normally I simply use my hands, but my eyes are not too good either.
But I've seen an excellent way on Youtube ''whipping a spade end fishing hook''
I think this may have solved my problems, as I always carry a large set of unhooking forceps. Plus it only demands one pair of hands.
I like this guys.
