The fishing hook has a shank, a pointed hook portion formed at the lower end of the shank, and an eyelet formed at the upper end of the shank. The eyelet is formed by a generally D-shaped open loop that defines a cleft at the apex of the eyelet. The method of attaching a snell (a short leader line) to a fishing hook includes the steps of: forming a loop in a snell; passing the loop through the eyelet; rotating the fishing hook at least one full rotation to twist the loop; passing the loop over the open end of the eyelet; and pulling the snell to form a knot at the apex of the eyelet.
