    Whoopie Hook Idea

    If this was thought of already I apologize.
    Just wanting to throw an idea out there to use the whoopie hook
    as a speed hook.

    There is a half hitch involved (which I call a slip knot at times)lol.



    Think I figured out this Youtube thing.

    Why do I want to use it as a speed hook rather than whoopie hook?
    Reduce the distance due to buries and just because

    I did something similar trying to make use of my whoopie hooks now that I've made the switch to speed hooks. Here's my vid if you haven't seen it yet...

    Great, I finally give up my figure 8 lashings for whoopie slings, now everyone will be moving in another direction! It's tapes to CD 's to mp 3's all over again!

    Are figure 8 lashings the same thing as 8-track tapes?
    Maybe Dutch can make us a hubcap, diamond star halo.
