So here's a dumb question...looking at some bucktail dressed siwash hooks, and noticed they were open eye hooks. Is this a bad thing, and should I be crimping them closed? Or is this nothing to worry about. Also, where can I get some higher quality colored one's? I seems like there's limited choices out there unless you know someone who does custom tails.
