The sharp half and the blunt half

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
A hook does not want to be reached into. A swivel does not mind.

Eight of the eighteen leaves have a point on them

Fly hooks, circle hooks, treble hooks, jig heads, and the baited hook leaves. All of them are designed to catch on something, which is exactly what a hand reaching into a jar is.

And a treble hook is the extreme case

Three points on one shank, so it cannot be picked up without presenting a point in some direction. A loose pile of trebles tangles with itself and has to be separated one at a time.

Which changes what the container has to do

A wide shallow container that can be tipped out onto a surface beats a deep one that has to be reached into. The hand never goes in.

The shelf is well supplied for that

Of the 251 containers, the median height is 2.5 inches and the median diameter 2.87, so the typical row here is already wider than it is tall. A hundred and twenty eight of the 219 that record both dimensions are wider than tall.

The blunt half of the group has the opposite preference

Swivels, split rings, leader rings, crimp sleeves, bobber stops and beads are safe to pick from and small enough that a narrow jar wastes less space. The hand can go in.

And they are the leaves where a clear wall earns most

A snap swivel and a barrel swivel of the same size look alike in a jar and different through the side of one. Ninety one of the 251 containers are clear, which is the largest single color.

Hooks also rust, which the blunt hardware mostly does not

A carbon steel hook left in a jar with any moisture in it will show rust at the point first, which is the part that matters. Swivels and rings are usually plated or stainless.

So the group divides on two axes at once and they do not line up

Sharp against blunt, and corrodible against not. A treble hook is both sharp and corrodible; a split ring is neither; a jig head is sharp and painted.

Which is why eighteen leaves need more than one container

Not because of the count but because of the combinations. Four distinct storage situations across eighteen leaves, and the shelf has an answer for each.

And none of them is a question this spine addresses

The Lacey Act concerns trade in fish, wildlife and plants taken in violation of other law. A hook is manufactured hardware and nothing on these pages says otherwise.

References

The eighteen leaves in this group as the catalog indexes them: fishing tackle, bobber stop, crimp sleeve, fly hook, fly tying bead, hook bait, hook circle, hook treble, jig head, leader ring, lead shot, sinker egg, sinker pyramid, snap swivel, soft bait, spinner blade, split ring and swivel barrel. 16 U.S.C. 3372 prohibits trade in fish, wildlife and plants taken in violation of other law and does not reach any of them.

Written from 16 U.S.C. 3372 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That section is the Lacey Act prohibition and it makes a federal offense out of trade in fish, wildlife or plants taken in violation of other law; it does not govern hooks, swivels, sinkers or beads, and nothing here says it does. Nothing here states whether lead tackle is lawful in any jurisdiction, which varies and is not in this record, and nothing here is guidance about fishing or licensing. A closure recorded as fitting a container shares a neck notation in the supplier record, which is not a test of fit. This shelf is shared identically by nine groups and the sewing notions property enumerates the inventory.
