Question for Wokka types...

Being ex-MAOT, I have spent rather a lot of time hooking loads etc under Wokkas, but it was 25 years ago. I *think* I recall that the Wokka had a special strop that released at the far end, rather than just the hook. Am I imagining that? Or was it just the center hook? Or a figment of my imagination?

First thing I noticed with this was that they were dropping 3 strops per lift, which is going to get expensive real quick. In my day, we'd have just sent the junior siggie to recover them, but in the duty of care age, if the dam breached and the lad went for a swim, that's a no-no. Of course I am jesting, we had a duty of care back then. But we'd still have recovered the strops
