For some reason, the hookshot blocks or reflects whatever Link's current boomerang is set to block or reflect, regardless of the hookshot's block/reflect properties. If he has no boomerang, the hookshot does not affect any projectiles at all! In other words, whether this is a bug or not, the block/reflect properties for the boomerang items override those set for the hookshot items. Also, projectiles deflected or reflected by the hookshot will sometimes explode.
(I quoted this directly from a thread of mine in Beta Discussion)
But the question is, was this how the hookshot behaved in 2.10? Note that this has to do with the new boomerang/hookshot rule.
