Worried about fish hooks... Anything else I should know about this?

We use the Sevylors for fishing only and take two dogs (large, with long nails), also. I am the wild fisherperson and constantly attach barbed hooks to the sides of the boat unintentionally. With gear all over the floor of the boat, as well, it has held up remarkably for the 20 or so years that we have had it. We take it through log bottoms, etc. with no problems. It's tough!

Its certainly worth a try. Its all natural so it wont hurt your fish. Good luck!

Agreed, occasionally ants get my bait. I clean the area scrupulously of debris and replace the bait. Also, make sure that the bait isn't propping the trip lever open. If I use too large a piece of Snickers (my mice's favorite) the trip lever won't move properly.

Mine definitely had holes for the hooks. If yours doesn't then something is amiss. I hope this helps!

I looked all over the rod and couldn't find any. However we drag herring around with them all day. Have even ran HEAVY weights in the ocean with no problem. Hope it helps.

I haven't but I would think it would poison the water if there were fish in the tank. Check with your pet shop to see what they suggest......

The plastic hooks hold up pretty good. I carry mine almost 8 hours a day. No problems so far.

The hooks on mine are plastic. It isn't a huge hook, so in the cases of a thick shepherds hook I've made a small loop out of wire and slipped that over the shepherds hook and then hooked the feeder on the wire loop. So far (knock on wood), I haven't had any problem with the hook. The hooks seem plenty strong and haven't gotten brittle in intense sunlight.

Hi: There's a little cup that the hook is sunk into.....fill the little cup with water with a drop of dishsoap ( to break the surface tension of the water). Also, a couple of inches up the hanger rod ( or chain.....whatever) from the hook I put a small glob of Vaseline..........traps the little buggers!

You can get hooks to put on the back to hang them from and store that sells frames but I would make sure your items and the hooks are really secure before hanging. I have a few with sharks teeth in them hanging and they seem to be holding well.

Sorry just saw you're question. The little hooks need something to hook on to. We had a broken one and used a plastic zip tie, which might work for you. Ours has been up since fall and it's still shiny and in good shape. Very happy with it.

I've had mine for a year in a saltwater tank...no issues. I've even have a snail that keeps the outside of the pump clean without getting hurt. If I had a fish commit fishycide, I would avoid that species in the future. Survival of the fittest/smartest.

I took the boat about a hundred yards off the shore to fish in new England once and it did fine. You would probably get towed around if you were catching bigger fish but that sounds like a good time to me. Rinse it off with fresh water after you're done tho.

Maybe? The magnet hook is in an awkward position pointing upwards; the fish magnets are in the roof of their open mouth. You could also untie the magnet hook and reattach a more simple magnet.

I fish Salt water, I wouldn't suggest usage for large fish,( over 5 lbs, Remember this is an inexpensive ROD.

Sorry, I have no idea. I can handle Pike, Walleye, etc. no problem. I thought you guys swam underwater and grabbed those big 'ole catfish with your bare hands, LOL.

I've had no problems with this. The hooks are coated in a soft but durable plastic so no scratches.
