Hook sharpening?

[Silkstringz]

Anyone have a hook sharpener they like?

Treble hook baits, I will swap out a few times during the tournament. Looking for something to keep in the boat to touch up bladed jigs, spinnerbaits etc...rather than have to throw away a $18 bait.

I have one of these. But I like a stone with a grove in it for the hook better.

You ever try and replace a spinnerbait hook? Or a jig hook?

Another vote for the EZ lap.

I have a hook file I use on trebles when needed. It will get them surprisingly sharp. If the hooks get in bad shape they get replaced by Gamakatsu. Worm hooks, I don't bother resharpening, just put another on.

you dont have your spinnerbait, jig or chatterbait hooks on a swivel?

I have crankbaits that have caught 100’s of fish and I have never even sharpened them, much less changed hooks multiple times in a Tournament. The only time I will change a hook is if it has been compromised after bending it back in shape a few times.

Those are good. I have one that’s at least 20 years old. Very handy if I remember to put it in my pocket. I also carry an old school ceramic one, which does a fine job.

What kind of diamond coated hooks are you using? Rock/bottom normally affect my hooks way before fish. But even with topwater, after 15-20 fish, they need touching up or changed.

I'm waiting for his answer. I love it when smart azzes make a fool of themself by not reading the original post and then use the "shrugging" emoticon.

I was at an archery shoot once and 2 guys were talking about the sharpness of various field points. I removed the field point from one of my arrows and shot a deer target at 20 yards and got full penetration. My point was a dull field tip and a sharp one really make little difference. I am not saying a sharper hook is not better, but it does not take much to even get a dull hook to penetrate into a fish’s mouth.

Thank you for all the help guys. Some people can’t read.
