Not to sure this is the correct place to post this... I have a tatula 7'7" MR that has the open hook hanger on the left side. For some reason the line keeps on catching on it . What is the best way to take it off without damaging the rod? thanks for any help. john

If a hook hanger is in the "wrong" place for me, I bend it as tight to the rod as I can without damaging the rod, and then tape over it with black electrical tape.
For me, that is way easier than trying to remove it.

Take to the very edge of the metal where its epoxied to the rod with a Dremel metal cutting wheel - do it very slowly and it'll cut right off flush...
If you want you can epoxy over the cut to blend it in.

I'd heat the epoxy that's over the thread wraps holding the hook keeper on so it softens up then take a razor blade and scrape ( blade almost parallel with blank) along the feet of the hook keeper. same as removing a guide for me. keeper should break free rather easy then just pick or unwind thread and epoxy off the blank.
