None with a jig. Now if you make chatterbaits with a split ring between the hook and blade, the flat eye is a must.

Vertical eye seem to come through grass a little better where the horizontal seems to get through wood and rocks with less hangups
Hmmmm. I thought it was the other way around, but the OP will find out soon enough!
Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.
I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
Hook up percentage is much higher with a horizontal eye.
Interesting! I've never noticed (read: paid any attention to) this. Any thoughts on why that's the case?Originally Posted by RFeyoMN
I've always tended toward vertical eye just because it seems they come through grass better like Moneyshot said.

There's less tendancy for a horizontal eye to roll on it's side when you set the hook. Only vertical eye jig I use is a swim jig.
That makes sense. Never even considered it. Thanks for the info!
