trailer hook stay

[usngsm2]

If you don't like the rubber I have found this to work incredible. Heatshrink tubing. You can get it from any hardware store in tubes that are various sizes. Take your trailer hook and size it to the tubing, then cut enough to fit over the eye of the trailer hook ( trailer hooks eyes are generally big.) Then take a lighter (works better than a match) and place it about 3 inches under the eye with the heatshrink. The tubing will conform to the trailer hook and then let it cool ( if you heat it too much it will melt, so pay attention to the heatshrink and rotate the hook eye for better results.). Slip the trailor hook over the intended hook and it will not move. To remove it you may have to cut it off or re-heat the heatshrink until it melts. I wanted to send this to Bassmaster mag but thought about you guys first...
