- a body with at least two pockets formed in a first side of the body;
- an eyelet attached to the body;
- and
- a hook attached to the body;
- wherein each pocket of the at least two pockets has a back wall;
- wherein the bod has a coating and the coating is located on the body between the pockets;
- wherein a reflective material is attached to the back wall of each of the at least two pockets;
- wherein the reflective material is located entirely within the pocket;
- wherein the back wall of a first one of the at least two pockets is at a first angle;
- wherein the back wall of a second one of the at least two pockets is at a first angle;
- wherein the first angle of the first one of the at least two pockets is different than the first angle of the second one of the at least two pockets;
- wherein the first one of the at least two pockets is at a first depth from an exterior contour of the body and the second one of the at least two pockets is at a second depth from the exterior contour;
- and wherein the first depth is not substantially identical to the second depth.
