I've only ever used gloves and long sleeves...

Never been tall enough to get enough leverage off of hooks...

I've known about them, but never used them. Thinking about it, I did use one for a catfish gaff.

Hope someone can help you find what you're looking for.

Edit: Now you got me thinking. Guess a hook was always impractical for us as we always had to throw the bale while stacking. Not to sound like an idiot, but here goes..... How the heck do you toss a bale using a hook??? Twist release???

Thought I knew too much about haying, but....

The best ones Ive found so far are the flat type steel with the leather guards. for some reason the flats get a better bite than the octagon shaped steel?? Also the short ones are easy to use. Just like the ones in the pic posted by Shovelhead.
