It's a method tried a few years ago but I dropped it because it doesn't allow the hook to separate from the bait and therfore not getting secure hook-holds.

The best way is to get your length of mono, tie a loop on one end, trim to the correct length so it finishes just above the eye. Blob the end with a lighter then whip the hook link on where the braid continues down the shank, trapping the hair as you move down. A bit fiddley but not the best of methods of attaching the hair because you are relying on the hook point catching on its way out. Any way good luck
