Not exactly what I meant . With standard bent eye you can use any variation of snell knot .

Many circle hooks have a straight eye , going back through the eye the wrong direction doesn’t allow the hook to roll (trigger ) correctly . So that the hook point is turned towards the lip . Otherwise it just rolls it rolls the back of the hook against the lip and slides out if their mouth

Here is a decent video
