The High Hooked Girl
A daughter's tribute to her father, born from childhood fishing memories and a lifetime of observation.
The Solution: Patent-Pending Marine Soap-on-a-Rope
High Hooked is a precisely engineered marine hygiene system designed to eliminate human scents that contaminate fishing bait. It's not just soap—it's the result of years of soapmaking experience combined with a lifetime of fishing observation.
Proprietary Formula
High Hooked uses a carefully crafted blend of natural ingredients specifically selected to create stable lather in saltwater environments—something traditional soaps simply cannot do.
Our patent-pending formula (Application #63/923,382) eliminates human scents at the molecular level while being gentle on your skin. Made with all-natural ingredients, it's safe for sensitive skin and effective in the harshest saltwater conditions.
Marine-Grade Traction Cord
The soap-on-a-rope design isn't just convenient—it's engineered for marine use. The traction cord features:
- Textured braided surface that maintains grip even when wet
- UV-resistant materials that won't degrade in sunlight
- Professional marine application standard durability
- Designed to hang over the gunwale for boat-side access
Proof of Concept: Where It All Began
Some of my most cherished memories are from those early mornings with my grandfather, my father, my brothers, and my uncles. We'd wake up at the crack of dawn, pile into the truck, and make our ritual stop at the store—snacks, coffee for Dad, and lunch. Without fail, we'd get those stinky hoagies loaded with onions.
I was always the odd one out. While everyone else saved their sandwiches for mid-day, I'd devour mine on the way to the boat dock. I couldn't stand the thought of touching my food with fishy hands. They'd laugh at me, but I didn't care.
Then something interesting would happen. Every single time, after they stopped mid-day to eat their lunch with hands that had been handling fish all morning, their catches would drop dramatically. Meanwhile, I'd keep reeling them in. They started calling me the "High Hooked girl"—the one who always caught the most fish.
My dad loved it. He wanted to be "high hooked" at the end of every day, and there was this playful competition between us. When I got really tired, I'll admit—I'd stop putting bait on my hook just so he could win. He never knew, and I loved seeing him smile when he'd finally out-catch me.
The Pattern I Couldn't Unsee
Years later, after I'd learned the craft of soapmaking, those childhood memories came flooding back. I finally understood what I'd been observing all along: they were skunking their own bait. Every time they touched sunscreen, motor oil, gasoline, bug spray, or ate with fishy hands, they transferred human scents directly onto their lures and bait. The fish could smell it. That's why their catches dropped. That's why I kept catching fish.
But here's the problem: traditional soap doesn't work in saltwater. You can't create lather. You can't actually clean your hands on the boat unless you have freshwater, which most anglers don't waste on hand-washing. Scent sprays just mask the problem—they don't eliminate it.
That's when it hit me: I could create a soap specifically for this. A soap that works in saltwater. A soap that hangs boat-side for easy access. A soap that actually eliminates human scents at the molecular level. That childhood observation became the proof of concept for High Hooked.
In Loving Memory
My father recently passed away, and those fishing memories—the early mornings, the stinky hoagies, the playful competition, his smile when he'd finally out-catch me—bring me such joy. High Hooked is my tribute to him, to my grandfather, and to every angler who understands that fishing is about more than just catching fish. It's about family, tradition, and the wisdom passed down through generations.
Dad always wanted to be "high hooked" at the end of the day. Now, every angler can be.
