This silk hook has been specially designed by Unicycle Voltige. The large diameter barrel ensures that there are no tight spots on wrapping the fabric, which reduces fabric wear. This is a superior design over the standard flat Rescue 8 style.
The length of the barrel allows more sophisticated wraps onto the hook than just the simple barrel-hitch or crows-foot; a double-back-to-back barrel hitch will give particularly easy separation of the silk lengths during performance.
The control-line attachments at the side allow you to rig side attachments to your silks so that they will not spin. This is very useful when you need to ensure that the silks are always orientated towards a particular direction, such as towards the audience.
