I was looking for a boat hook set up to put lines around pilings. High quality ones were $250. Since I already have two Shurhold multi-purpose hooks I checked to see if they offered an attachment that would do the same thing. The Remi works perfectly and cost $10. It's actually more adaptable to make different size loops than the $250 hook I originally looked at.

I paired this with the 9’ Shurhold handle and boat hook because docking at a crowded local restaurant can be difficult. Throwing a loop over a piling from 8’ out could not have been easier. Another boater asked me how I had done that since he had to wait a half-hour for a slip to open. He ordered a system while we talked!

This attaches to your handle. When docking this makes handling your dock line a snap very cool piece

We love it when coming into a new marina... It's a bit clumsy to get started because we don't use it very often, but once i have the loop just right, it's awesome. We store it in the nav station... We don't recommend just leaving it on the boat hook as the the wrap does degrade with sun and salt air (what doesn't?). I usually lasso lines around a piling, but that takes a longer line. With this, you can just put a loop in the line with bowlin or a splice, and then hold it wide and place over the piling. Sweet. I was even able to double a line using it, wrapping it around the piling and back to boat to make easier leaving the next day. One size larger for heavier lines would be great, but this is perfect size for almost every line at use.

This is a super handy item for putting a line over a piling. However , thee needs to be a larger size to accommodate 5/8ths and larger lines.
