WARNING!!!⚠️ dont chew on your hook!

Do not chew on the back of an ergo hook! I have a wooble hook that i use frequently and sometimes i chew on the back a little. Its a relatively old hook (4 or more years old) and the rubber started to degrade. Possibly because i chew on it (not really)… well anyway i have the silicome beads so i cut the rubber or whatever it is off the hook. The ergo hooks have holes on the back/side and when you chew on it your saliva seeps into the hole… eww.. and just sits there and harbors bacteria to the point where when i cut it off it stinks. Sorry if this grossed you out, but i know im not the only one on here who does this.

i only really chew on the tip of it when I’m fidgety. I rinse it off though, and i’m trying to break that habit
I also only use regular non-grippy hooks most of the time sooo

I don’t think that this really pertains to this post, if you are trying to get a hold of them you can tap on their name and press chat than you can talk to them about what you were trying to!:blush::blush:
