I never understood the multiple arms thing some hooks have but when they were new and i was a kid on console, I ATE THAT SHIT UP. Felt like spiderman. But as you understand the game, movement, and move to pc instead of an xbox 360, having multiple arms just feels completely pointless. EXCEPT for when you are trying to save yourself from fall damage and miss, being locked out of trying to correct the timing because your one hook is retracting is devestating.
I actually used the multi hook think to make hellevator shafts, just load a bunch of bombs in your Inventory, hook onto to one side, then the other, bam you're perfectly centered and ready to drop everything
Multi arm hooks are way better for building, let you hang out away from things enemies can stand on at any stage of the game, let you avoid dangerous surfaces reliably and more. Just hanging between two platforms/hills with summons or ranged attacks until you regen or it's clearer to move is a reliable gameplan even on modded difficulties.
Personally I almost never use a single target hook unless its something like the Static Hook (my preference) or the Hook of Dissonance where the speed and ability combined give it better value IMO.

I think it’s most likely just a way to move while still being on the hook
When I first played terraria, I used the multi-head hooks for cave traversal, since it let's you decend more safely

The diamond hook is the best pre hardmode hook. It's not Halloween anymore so no bat Hook. And no frickin way you spawning a pumpkin moon for a hook.

The best multi-hook innpre hardmode is the one you get from the angler.
The hook of dissonance is goated
I use the multi hooks for getting into specific spots and building
the multihook is nice for building and decorating in my experience, esp early game

Why a multy hook?? SO I CAN FEEL LIKE DOC OCK!!!
I always use the spider silk hook because you can just spam the crap out of it and i usually end up getting before any other fall protections.
Convenient for blowing mineshafts
My wife can never decide between speed and length
Spooky hook is nice but I like the Christmas hook more cuz it has pretty glowing lights.
Dr octopus is that you?
