For those making their own tow lines, the web site below has a picture of a simple hook design from RWO I found much more functional than carabiners or other hooks I have tried. It is a stainless steel hook with a stainless steel spring clip (keeper). In stressful situations, it's fast and easy to attach and release, as there is no indentation on the hook to catch on things. It has had lots of saltwater time with no corrosion. The downside is cost - about $9 to $12 apiece. http://www.rwo-usa.com/products/hooks.html Bill McKenzie wamckenz_at_gte.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
