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.
- REMOVE RINGPULL FROM CAN
- CUT ON LINES ———-
- TWIST AND FOLD LOOP BACKWARDS
- 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.
