    Dutch Hook question

    I have a Hook spliced to the end of my CRL and use a Stingerz like a Figure-9 on the other end to gain mechanical advantage to get the RL nice and tight.

    I was wondering just how tight is safe for the Hook. I realize titanium is strong and I wont be performing a trapeze act on the RL, just want to know if my worries are warranted.

    Make it tight. You won't break that hook. I have tested it to around 200 pounds
