The hook and the text are one piece here, not slapped next to each other. The J-curve of the hook sweeps from the bottom-left corner, and the word GONE sits in smaller letters at the mid-point, then FISHING fills out in big chunky block caps that take up most of the horizontal space. The round eye of the hook is in the top right. Its all 2 colours, black for the text and the main hook body, and a light grey on the satin shaft to give the hook that metallic look.
5 sizes from 2.77 inches wide up to about 6 inches. Low stitch count, the smallest runs at 4,103 stitches so it goes fast even on a slow machine. The largest hits 10,690. Density is 240 stitches per square inch, which means its not super heavy and wont pucker a light shirt. I programmed this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, keeping the satin stitching on the hook runs directional so the shaft reads as metal. Message me if theres any issue after download.
Customers use this one alot on fishing trip shirts, hat fronts, tote bags for tackle gear. One customer made a batch of canvas gear bags with the 4-inch version on the front flap, sold them at a local fishing market. Works great on navy, charcoal or white backgrounds. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable cotton and canvas, cutaway on fleece or polyester blend. Hoop the fabric snug so the diagonal angle of the design stays placed right.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
