This is very easy and simple. All the tools needed for this fish hook can be found on most multi tools. It takes only a few minutes to create.

Cut an opening in the bottom hole in the tab. Make sure that you cut in at a slant. Then start cutting away as much metal as you can around the hook. File the hook into a sharp point.
The Back of the Hook

Flip the tab around. The top hole should be untouched. This is where you will tie the line onto the hook. File down the sharp edges in the hole.
