The eye is the circular ring/loop at the back end to which fishing lines can be attached via knots, and (typically) receives the pulling force from the line. The shank is the (usually) straight shaft section of the hook, which relays pulling force from the line to the hook bend. The bend is the section where the hook curves back from the shank.
