Swivel Bench Hook

These hooks are really rare as hen's teeth. Very glad you carry them. I saw another review that stated the hooks needed sharpening and this is true. The SAILMAKER'S APPRENTICE gives instructions for this showing the shoulder a little behind the point that keeps goring of the material to a minimum.

After reading E.Marino's book Sailmakers Apprentice , was intrigued as the "scorpion hook" decided to try with my trotline building , after modifications , seems to help a lot. My trotlines are not standard... I use 5/16 to 3/8 rope as a main line and 550# hook drops. Catching catfish from 30 to 50 pounds consistent. Using 12/0 tuna hooks , needing a larger mainline . So as a review ,after modifications they work for my application will be buying again. Captain Ted English

Good hook, only needs point sharpening.

The hook showed up on time and was exactly what I wanted.
