About DocSeward Snake Hook, Copperhead Series For
Copperhead Series™ Snake Hook, The Balanced & Rugged Hook™ I made my first snake hook from an old golf club way back in the 1970's. I've carried that hook on many adventures in the field over the years and it's been my go-to field hook for some 40 years—until now. Recently, I've revisited the design with the goal of offering an affordable snake hook of the very highest quality. I wanted it to be both functional and beautiful. Perhaps more importantly, I wanted it to still be functional and beautiful after decades of hard use. Some quite popular snake hooks use aluminum for the hook. That keeps it more balanced by keeping the hook lighter at the front. However, aluminum is not very strong and it doesn't age well. I didn't want my hooks to look like they'd been dropped off the back of a pickup too many times after a few years of real use. Could I make it stainless steel and still keep it well balanced? After experimenting with many approaches it became clear that I couldn't limit the design to off-the-shelf components. So, I designed something completely new—a solid copper ferrule to attach the hook end to the shaft. Now the thickness of the stainless steel can be sized for the strength needed and not just sized to plug the hole in the end of the shaft. This one simple design innovation creates a snake hook unlike any other hook on the market. The result is the Copperhead Series™ Snake Hook, the Balanced & Rugged Hook™. The moment you hold one in your hand, you'll see for yourself. Also available in a 33" cage length version.
