Thanks, I noted down all those hook names for the boat fair in Düsseldorf
How do you think about this type of hook? It looks very simple. My hubby prefers this to KONG, Jolly Hooker or Hook & Moor. He says, we don't need fancy thing because it is only for picking a buoy up. Interestingly, this costs much more than those sophisticated ones which can be attached to the boat hook.
Many Swedish boats use the rod / hook as you showed. Basically because most mooring is Baltic style - Bows to pontoon, stern to a buoy. The rod/hook is used to 'hook' and retain the buoy.
Yes they are expensive - but you are paying for the strength and engineering design ...
Personally for Baltic Moor - I have a KONG
