I came across some fish hooks that have no eye, only a flattened section at the end of the shank.?

any idea on the country of origin? how are they tied to the line/leader?

they are called spade end hooks ,you make a loop and hold the hook against the loop then with the loose end you wrap the loose end around the hook and line about ten times and then put the loose end through tho loop and pull the main line tight so it traps the loose end its a bit fiddly until you get it right but works very well you can also buy a hook tier but i prefer to do it by hand. you can buy these hooks in England in most tackle stores. hope this helps
Reply:They are called blind eye hooks they need to have a silk worm gut loop tied to it for an eye. Go Google salmon flys and look at the pictures and you will understand.
