I got a great email from an Eagle Claw hook user from Alabama. See what Bill has to say about strong Hooks from Eagle Claw. Glad we could help!

I fish a local tournament on the Tennessee River at Waterloo, Alabama. We fish every Saturday night from 6pm to 1am. This past Saturday I was fishing with my friend when suddenly my trolling motor quit working. I checked and found that the pin inside the propeller had broken. I didn’t have a new one to replace it with and didn’t want to quit fishing the tournament. We checked the entire boat and the closest thing we could find was a 4/0 Eagle claw offset shank worm hook. We clipped the eye and the hook off the end, inserted it into the slot in the shaft of the trolling motor, put it all back together and it worked like a charm. We were able to finish the night ( which was in 15-20 mph winds) and finished fourth in our tournament!  I just wanted to let you know that Eagle Claw Hooks are not only strong enough to catch the big fish but might also be marketed as a good trolling motor fix!! Thanks for making such a :”strong” product!!.

Sincerely and appreciatively,
Bill Cox
