Summary

Ronn Lucas Sr. made the Harrison Hollow Point by hand as a blind eye salmon hook V. His shop offered it in five sizes, 3/0 through 7/0 V.

One 7/0 specimen is recorded here, with a penciled card for that size P.

IMG-1Ronn Lucas Sr. — New entry — image 1 Penciled card probably belonging with the 7/0 specimen. It names no maker, and the figures on its third line are not identified (P).

How to identify it

The recorded 7/0 carries no maker’s mark, and its card names no maker P. Unless original packaging survives, attribution rests on provenance I.

Check the point. On the Harrison Hollow Point, the outer edge rises to the tip in a concave curve, while the upper edge runs almost straight from the barb P. Lucas’s Noble HB is the same hook with a Dublin point in place of the hollow point V.

Technical profile and measurements

Features of the model, as recorded
FeatureRecordedEvidence
EyeBlind — Tapered Shank
Show noteHide note

Recorded 7/0: blind end, no formed eye. The shank thins, then steps down at a small shoulder to a narrow section ending bluntly P.

OBS-1IMG-3
WireFine (1X Fine), Round
Shank1X Long — Plain
BendStandard gap
Show noteHide note

Recorded 7/0: broad sweeping bend whose curvature tightens toward the lower rear. The point leg returns nearly parallel to the shank P.

OBS-3IMG-3IMG-2
PointHollow Point
Show noteHide note

Recorded 7/0: single cut barb, long and slender, standing well clear of the wire and angled back toward the bend P.

OBS-6IMG-2IMG-3
FinishBlack Japanned — stated on packaging
Show noteHide note

Lucas finished his hooks in black japanning V. The recorded 7/0 shows a uniform glossy black coating P. The photographs alone cannot identify the coating type.

SRC-2OBS-7

Lucas made his hooks by hand, on machines of his own design, from wire he matched to antique hooks. He heat treated them electrically under digital control V.

The recorded 7/0 is a single, barbed hook P. Its long shank forms a gentle continuous arc and runs into the bend without a sharp transition P. The shank proportion falls in the 1X long class (CMP-1).

In side view the wire is heaviest in the lower bend and point leg, lighter along the shank, and thinner again toward the blind end E. Only side views are recorded, so round and forged wire cannot be told apart.

Pattern history and manufacturer context

Series

The pattern profile on the Lucas site was supplied by Ron Reinhold, who had made hooks from raw wire since 1993 V. Lucas took over Reinhold’s business, so the Harrison Hollow Point probably came to his line from Reinhold’s I.

Design lineage

Lucas described these, to the best of his knowledge, as Harrison & Bartleet hooks, better known by the common name Harrison Hollow Points V. The antique original and its bend family are not documented.

Dating

Lucas made his first hooks in July 2006, after buying Ron Reinhold's business V. His shop site listed the Harrison Hollow Point in January 2016 V. No source dates the end of production.
The pencil note 1/22/21 on the specimen's card may be a date, but the card does not say what it records P.

Ronn Lucas Sr. — Ronn Lucas Sr. bought Ron Reinhold's hook-making business in 2006, traveling to Traverse City, Michigan for the purchase V. The shop reached Milwaukie, Oregon in July 2006, and the first two Lucas hooks were made there that month V. Read the maker’s history →
