Beer Can With Fish Hook Tab (Ringpull)

How To Create A Hook From Ringpull Instructions

A clever brewing company has come up with the novel idea to create a fish hook out of a beer can tab. The brewery includes the 4 steps required to make a fish hook of out the can tab. The tab comes perforated in the appropriate sections so that it easily snaps from the twisting and folding action.

  1. REMOVE RINGPULL FROM CAN
  2. CUT ON LINES ———-
  3. TWIST AND FOLD LOOP BACKWARDS
  4. TIE ON LINE AND GO FISHING

While MacGyver-types have always been able to create things like hooks from a can tab with a simple pair of pliers – this makes it that much easier.

Fish Hook From Beer Ringpull

As you can tell from this Reddit thread, not everybody loves the novelty – with some commenters mentioning that if one plans to fish they will be prepared and would not need to rely on a beer ringpull for a hook or that you could cut yourself in the process of making it.

The fish hook – once produced from the can tab – does not look suitable to hold much other than live or cut-bait. It would be difficult to rig a soft-plastic and you run the likely event that the hook will bend or break if something of relative size bites.
