Title: HOOK CLIP
Post by: REEFMAN on June 28, 2010, 12:53:26 PM: When you're walking with a rod, tie a small solid ring on with a cable tie near the butt to keep your hook from taking someone's eye out...

BAD idea Pierre. If the guide gets scratched by a hook, then it will damage the line going through it every time.

Thanks, it did not "feel" like the right thing to do. Now I know why.
