I have the same problem. On many spoons you can't get a split ring on, I have seen the hooks then attched with piano wire but my fine motor skills just cant twist it neatly enough any tips for that guys?

My 2c,

PRACTICE !!!

Use piano wire, and after a heck of a lot of practice (and a LOT of painful and pricked fingers) you can actually make a ring with it.

I use a decent 4'o hook or 2 of them shank to shank, tied with the points facing each other.

OR,

Just take Khan up on his offer !

With sard run's U CAN NOT COMPROMIZE using substandard terminal tackle, the first hook i'l look at to use on my own spoon's are Gamagatsuz Ocky'z 6/0, 8/0... As u never knw what u gona make tight with u must alway's make use of the best..

If u want wire on your spoon's, wire ring's...
drop them off with me at the shop suply the wire and i'l make them up for u in my lunch break...

I replace all treble hooks with Assist single hooks easy to change and available at Kingfisher.
