Troubleshooting

Hook Point Dullness: The hook point becomes blunt after use.

Check the hook point for damage. If it's blunted, replace the hook with a new one. Store hooks in a protective case to prevent damage.

Knot Failure: The knot attaching the hook to the line fails.

Re-tie the knot, ensuring it is tied correctly and tightened properly. Inspect the line for any damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
