I bought Three-Eighth-Inch Spiral Bungee Hooks as part of my camper van equipment.

Comparing Shock-Cord Hook Bodies and Cord Sizes
I planned the storage assembly and simulated the roof dimensions on the patio.
I built the timber drawer frame and base, then cut the rubber lining with scissors.
I fitted the lining with adhesive, screws and washers before attaching the slides to the drawer and cabinet.

My Takeaway from This Job
The spiral-hook pack concentrates on three-eighth-inch cord. The mixed wire-hook package adds quarter-inch sizes, while Plasticky changes to a plastic body for quarter-inch cord, making material and cord size separate choices.

Construction
Plastic-coated metal spiral hook
Spiral bungee hooks connect a shock-cord end to an open hook. The spiral section and the hook opening perform different jobs, so compare both when planning a cord arrangement. In a small storage project, establish the route, length and attachment locations before cutting the cord. The listed three-eighth-inch size describes the cord format for this purchased pack. Keep that cord size with the hook specification when replacing a damaged end or making another cord to match the same layout.
It identifies the intended shock-cord size for this pack. The hook opening and finished cord length are separate dimensions to compare with the attachment points.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The mixed hook pack covers quarter-inch and three-eighth-inch cord, while the Plasticky option uses a plastic hook body for quarter-inch cord.
These molded plastic hooks have fixed-end attachments for quarter-inch shock cord. Their tabbed hook shape provides an alternative to coated wire hooks.
