Van,
These would be great for retrieving rigs stuck on the bottom. I use a steel grapping hook with a shackle (hook around my stuck line) big enough to "slide" down my stuck fishing line. I raise it and lower it a couple of time and it always hooks onto my 9er's rigs. the bad part is my grapping hook is made of steel (rust,rust,rust).
This would make a great replacement in 3/16 or 1/4" and serve 2 purposes.
Let me know if you decide to make them up. Otherwise I going to have one made, probably 1/4".
Neat idea. Your next career has been launched.
