An improved fish hook and method of attaching line to the hook shank with a knot such that knot strength is maximized, and line force is dissipated along the longitudinal axis of the shank. The improvement comprises a hollow tubular member attached to a fish hook shank such that, when attached, the tube is substantially aligned with the shank, and positioned proximate the shank head. Fishing line is secured to the hook shank by threading the line through the attached tube and knotting the line about the shank such that line load is dissipated longitudinally along the shank axis. The foregoing method of attaching line has been found to increase knot strength while dissipating force along the longitudinal shank axis.
