Small eye, thick line

[Nube]

How would people suggest tying a hair rig when you're fishing at a venue that only allows small hooks (size 10 biggest) and your line is too thick to pass through the eye of the hook?

Try using the Domhof knot. 

It is normally used for tying spade end hooks, so actually no need to go through the eye of the hook at all. 

 

A matchman hook tyer also helps with tying small hooks.

The other thing is with size 10 hooks, I use 7lb mono on a water with the same rules
