In the end, we pick and choose what we want. I prefer to use only three turns going from bend to eye. Hans Weilenmann described why going towards the eye was best on another forum, and convinced me it was the proper way. I havent looked for that discussion, and wont. If he wants to weigh in on this discussion, he will. If you like using six turns and going towards the bend by all means continue. If you are not comfortable in your skills, and would rather half hitch and glue the head, by all means do so. Perhaps, in the end, it makes no difference. At least we are discussing, and perhaps learning a better way to enjoy our hobby.
