The pirate hook (left) is a reward from the Brimhaven Agility Arena. It costs 800 agility arena tickets to purchase from Pirate Jackie the Fruit. It can be combined with a crab claw to make a crabclaw and hook or with a pirate hook (right) to make double pirate hooks by talking to Patchy.

It is possible to make a decent profit selling them at the Grand Exchange. Without Karamja gloves 4, it takes a minimum of 800 minutes (or 13 hours 20 minutes) to earn enough tickets - worth an average of 3,226,956 coins per hour (assuming no pillars are missed). The minimum time required to earn these tickets is reduced to 640 minutes (or 10 hours 40 minutes) when wearing Karamja gloves 4 because of the bonus tickets received - worth an average of 4,033,695 coins per hour (assuming no pillars are missed).
