How do you get a hook in terraria?

Answer 1

You can get Hooks as a rare drop from Skeletons and Piranhas, It might be easier instead of digging all the way down to rock level (Gray-rocky background) to instead go to the Jungle and kill Piranhas that spawn there.

OR... You could find/make: Lava Bucket, Glass (9x9 Blocks) Piranha statue, Wires, (Always buy 100/more than you need) Wrench and 1/3/5 Sec Timer!

1. Make a 9x9 box with the glass.

2. Pour lava into the bottom of glass box

3. Put piranha Statue in the lava box

4. Put One/three/five sec timer somewhere.

5. Wire the Statue to the timer.

6. Turn on the time by right-clicking it.

Now Piranhas will spawn, dying continuously, Having a better chance to drop a hook. For even MORE chance place a Skeleton statue next to the other in the box and wire(If other one doesn't go past the skeleton statue) so a doubled chance.
