That's most likely the size of the box it arrives in. It's about 2" x 3" in size. I'd put it at 5". Mine is one of my favorites.
There isn't one for 5/8" rope at the moment.
No, all you have to do is pull the lever, and the rope will slide right through. A large amount of pull, on the other hand, will cause the rope to unload very quickly.
There is no spike, only the hook, and it is extremely effective.

The cost seemed a little excessive to me. I still do, but I bought it so that I wouldn't have to rely on others to secure my boat to the beach when I arrive. I'm glad I took the opportunity to do so. This is a very well-made device. I sincerely hope I'm correct, but I don't believe it will ever wear out.
I run an 18' flats boat that does fishing charters and the boat is set up for fly fishing, so there are no cleats on the bow of the boat to tie an anchor line to, so I had to tie a loop knot at my desired rope length and secure a snap hook to attach the hook to the underside of the bow. This became a annoyance as I kept wanting to jump spots or let out more rope. I needed a solution for the days when the powerpole and MK terrova couldn't handle the chop or current and I had to use an anchor. Outside the box - This hook has a high-quality appearance and feel to it. In case I need to quickly disengage from my anchor for a tarpon, I ran my 1/2" anchor line through a 7"14" crab trap float and then to my Danik hook. Because the danik hook is entirely made of stainless steel, I can retrieve my float, hook, and anchor after the catch without fear of damaging them in the salt water. When it gets rough out there, I prefer anchoring off the hook rather than atop the bow from a cleat. I'm very pleased with this product, and despite using Amazon for over 20 years, I've never written a review. Although this product is a little pricey, I believe it is well worth the money, and it deserved the time I spent writing this review because no other product is comparable. 5 stars!.
Despite the fact that these are designed for use on boats, I keep two of them in the back of my truck to adjust ropes for holding lumber and other large items that protrude from the back. I decided to spend the extra money on stainless steel because the trunk bed gets wet. I'm familiar with the Danik Hook from my days as a boat owner, and they work just as well on land to keep a line at the desired length.
This has a lot of applications, both on the boat and in the home. br>br>When I'm at the beach, I usually attach it to the cleat on the stern of my boat and connect it to my stern anchor. It takes a fraction of a second to add more rope or remove slack from the line as the tide changes, rather than having to untie and retie the entire line. br>br>I do wish it was a hair larger. It won't clip over a 1" bow rail, which is what my boat has, so I won't be able to use it to hold fenders over the rail.
Thread a rope through the toon and tie the other end to a tree to anchor near the shore for water tailgating. It safely secures my boat, and I can easily increase or decrease the tension to control how far my boat anchors from my on-shore tie down. This is a fantastic product that is also extremely durable.
These are absolutely fantastic. Allows you to make adjustments to the position of your boat while anchored at a beach with rising or falling tides without having to untie and retry knots. Many boaters have asked me where I got them because they are of such high quality. On Amazon, I informed them. In the weeks that followed, I noticed that I wasn't the only boater with this product, and that I had received them on time, and that I was able to use them on a daily basis to keep my boat where I wanted it with minimal effort.
I bought the less expensive model on Amazon, which claimed to hold 3/8" rope, but it doesn't. I have two types of 3/8" rope, and neither of them would fit. So I went ahead and purchased the more expensive Danik model, which is fantastic! It's a huge improvement over the cheap one, and it's also much more durable. So it appears that the old adage "you get what you pay for" holds true.
I had hoped to find something similar for less elsewhere, but the Danik Hook (patent pending) appears to have cornered the market. Despite the price, I ordered a couple and was pleasantly surprised by how well they appear to be constructed. It's a rock-solid piece of equipment that's also incredibly simple to operate. I've used them for rope diameters of 3/8" and 5/8" and have had no issues with either. Just be careful tossing this overboard to your deckhand (wife), as it's quite heavy and will leave a mark! br>br>Given the investment that these hooks are safeguarding, I've changed my mind and would not want to pay less for anything of lower quality.
