Old Frabill Hooks

#835272 - 11/17/09 07:01 PM

Does anybody know were I can get a couple of the old version of the Frabill hooks? I'm not crazy about the new style of hook.

Thanks,
Mike

Can you give us a little more info on this product? I'm not familiar with the "hooks" you're referencing.

James- The "new" Frabill hooks he is referring to look like the one I have in the pic, but they replaced the single hook with velcro. They hang in the shanty on the poles, you can put your coat, tackle bag, rod bag, etc on them.

Aah. Gotcha. I honestly wasn't sure. That item is a new one by me. I've never seen one before. They do look handy though.

I guess the question remaining now is how did they change?

They made the single hook on the right, the one that you attach to portable poles, with velcro

Z-Man,
Thank you for posting the picture. This is exactly what I am looking for.

Has anybody seen these on sale anywhere?

Thanks,
Mike

I bought mine 3 years ago I think. You might wanna check around at some mom n pop bait shops. All the chain retailers have certainly gone to the new velcro style.

Z-Man,
I would prefer to have a pair or two. I sent an email to Frabill to see if they had any available.

Thank you for offer. I do appreciate it.

Mike
