How to get sharp hooks?

Featured Replies

Just wondering what you guys use to sharpen your hooks.  I have heard that the rapala hook sharpener sucks.  Any suggestions for me?

I may be out of the norm here but I never sharpen my hooks........If they get dull, I change em.......Simple as that.  ;D

I don't sharpen hooks either. When they need attention, they need to be replaced.

I buy owner rig-n hooks in 5/0.

They are STUPID sharp!!

the chemically sharpened hooks of today shouldnt need to be sharpened. if a hook gets dull replace it.

I have a Berkley hook sharpener, it stinks.  

I have heard a lot of folks talking about their dull Chatterbait hooks and wonder what they do about it.  My chatterbaits have some pretty dull hooks, and I want to hone them.

I bought a Berkeley electric sharpener and that thing is a piece of crap. I'm going to go buy just a stone. Some baits you can't replace the hook like a Johnson Silver minnow ;D

Sharping hooks is a losed art and for good reason most hooks are sharp. I still touch up some baits.

Those yellow handle files in BPS are the best all the battery jobs suck.

I don't sharpen hooks.  They are to cheap to waste time sharping them.

eagle claw's!!!!!!!  ;D

Dispite what some of you filthy rich people say, hooks are to expensive to replace when they get dull. :) (atleast for me)

I got a hook hone for a few bucks, and it does wonders. In just a minute you can turn the dullest hook into a razor. Its great for baits like spinnerbaits where the hook can not be changed.

I def agree with every one else ;D if a hook gets dull dont waste the time to sharpen them!!!!!

I AGREE!!!!!!

You can buy a hook stone or a diamond covered sharpener form BPS or Cabelas.  I like the diamond covered sharpener better.

If you are worry about  the price of hooks you are in the wrong hobbie

I'd have to say I disagree,you dont need $200 poles,$300 reels and new hooks every time out to fish.Some are on a budget sharpening hooks will work just fine.

Get yourself one of these:

They will run you 5-6 bucks and will fit in your pocket like a pen. Run the point down the groove a few times and it is needle sharp.
