The Bone Fishing Hook is a small hook carved from a sharp piece of bone. It does the same job as a metal hook when making or fixing a fishing rod.
It suits a survivor who has run out of store-bought hooks and has animal bones to work with. It is tiny and fits in a wallet. Its cost is the skill needed, since carving one takes Carving level 5.
Most are carved by hand. A few sit in anthropology classroom display cases at universities. The Fishing Guide is the best occupation for fishing and trapping. It starts with the most Fishing skill. For Trapping, the Park Ranger starts strongest.
Using
The hook goes into a fishing rod. The Make Fishing Rod recipe takes a Wooden Rod, two lengths of fishing line and a hook to make a Makeshift Fishing Rod. A sharp knife or a meat cleaver is kept as the tool. The Fix Fishing Rod recipe puts line and a hook on a Fishing Rod without Line.
Both recipes also accept a Paperclip, Nails, a Fishing Hook or a Forged Fishing Hook in place of the bone hook. The bone hook is the choice when those are gone.
The Carve Bone Fishing Hook recipe makes one from a Sharp Bone Fragment at Carving level 5. A whetstone or a file is kept as one tool, and a sharp knife as the other. The recipe must be learned first.
Research is a second use. The inventory option "Research Craft" on the hook teaches Forge 4 Fishing Hooks and Carve Bone Sewing Needle.
