Description

This Medium Bone Makau/fish hook is a rotating-style-barbless makau. This is a unique example of the hawaiian self- setting-style hook. A very thin makau, but no less strong. Unlike jab-hooks that most western fisherman are used to, this is typical of the self-setting rotating makau's . This style developed from the float/line techniques used to fish unattended rigs. It is made of Beef bone and the hook is 1.625"l x 1.00"w. The tan kaula/cord can be made to length choose from above.
