Hooks-Sealed line tie

Looking to get just one line of hooks for most of my uses. I have been using the VMC since all their hooks have a sealed eye. The Gammie's do not other than their straight shank flipping hooks. Any other suggestions?

Seal the hook yourself. Either tie a knot with thin line, then drag the knot to the crack and cut it loose, then re-tie, or use a dab of epoxy. I have done both. I like Trokar hooks, but the gap at the hook eye is pretty noticeable on the larger hooks, like the Big Nasty worm hooks. Those get a quick knot with braid into the space. Easy enough, since I use braid almost exclusively, and tie directly to my lures most of the time anyway.

I also use a drop of epoxy or gel style super glue to seal up that gap. Works great on my Owner hooks.
