As we know in terms of simplicity they don't come much simplicity then a curve shank pattern tied as a normal knotless knot. This normally crates a nice angle already but would adding the line alinger/ knicker with a curve at the end improve or reduce hooking. I used to use the staight nash kickers on my German rigs but that was few years ago and it seemed to.work well but as there would be a hair this time not sure if the mencanhic would work differently?

I did find that on Chantry Park lake that a Knotless knotted curve shank hook could be ejected. I was able to watch the fish do me, but adding a line aligner cured the problem.
