What People Are Saying
“I can’t say enough good things about this hook. I like that you can take the hook part off and use it as a hiking stick and then put the hook back on when you need it. It’s lightweight and sturdy. The company was very helpful sending me private messages helping me decide which one to go with. I highly recommend.”
— Marissa, Arizona“This hook setup is amazing! I've used it for three months now with a variety of species, including elapids, vipers, and colubrids. It is very sturdy and sizes up and down very easily and quite reliably. I've had no issues, and I've found I like this far more than any of the hooks I've used in the past. Furthermore, the shop owner is great! He helped me choose the best setup for my situation and was always kind throughout the process. If I ever had to get another hook, I can safely say it would be from Wandering Scales. The prices, quality, features, and customer service experience really set it apart, and I cannot recommend it enough! Thank you so much!”
