I have covered the hook shank with a thread base but I am not sure that is necessary. I modified a pair of large pliers to kink hook bodies but rarely use them anymore.
So you're making the hole with the needle, then pulling the hook through with the line you've run through hook and needle? And the hook has Super Glue on it when you do so?
