Re: ideas for a strong hook

If you decide to make your own (I personally wouldn't because I was also an eyewitness to the incredible badassery of a shark hook - it's very light and it's just about the right size for the pipes once you grind the barb off), you can easily model a hook in any material in either Solidworks or Inventor and then run a simulation to see if it would yield under the 100+ pounds of force. I'd be happy to explain the process if you're curious.
