What size hook Dom?
I only use eyed hooks in sizes below a sixteen.
Then I choose one of three.............when hair-rigging I use a knotless knot, otherwise I use a kamasan 'spade end' hook tyier or a grinner knot. All three have been fine for my eyed hook fishing applications.

If you need the strenth of an eyed hook, I'd get one of these or similar...........
Or learn to tie a grinner knot.

That's not quite right Ed. The loop should slip over the eye and grip the knot.

Palomar here also, very easy to tie and very reliable.
If you decide on using a different knot for eyed hooks (grinner is good and strong) then you should still learn to tie the palomar, it is very good for swivels.

I would say the knotless knot but with a small size 14 it is not easy so go for the hook tying tool Mark showed as this is simple to use and make the line exit the hook so the hook sits strait in line with the main line thus giving better hook ups.
An eyed hook tied with a palomar, grinner or blood knot alought these knots are strong the hook can sit at any angle in comparrison with the main line and you could miss bites .
