Not so fast my friend
Throwing the rope with a float on the end is very safe
U can throw the rope from 10 ft away and the current can push the float back to the boat.
Or u can have an extending rope grabber to get the rope back to the boat
Never ever should u put ur boat in a position that a swell could cause damage.... That's just stupid.
Keep distance and be safe.
On a 20-24 ft bay boat a rig hook is taking up to much space.
That's the main reason I never carried one.
After going out on true offshore boats and using the hook and using the rope I still believe that the rope method is much safer and easier.
You don't have to be Greg Maddox to throw the rope/float accurately to the rig.
