Awesome pic!!! Yours is a LOT clearer than the one's I took. Beautiful!!

I would never even have had the idea if you hadn't started it.  When I get some time to mess around, I'll set up my tripod and do it right.  I took 5 shots this time, and the one I posted is the only one that is in focus.  I'm going to try some of my treble baits... poppers and jerks, etc.

 

The other thing that might be interesting is to examine some hooks before and after they've hooked a few fish, and see what damage that does.

      Now what you need are pics of those same hooks after considerable use.  I have a feeling those would just show to you and us, that sharpening or replacing hooks is a sound practice (if you post them).

      For fear of embarrassing myself, this hook I used the last 2 trips out. Although beat up visually, it still felt sharp to the touch although not as sharp as it should be. Footnote - I crush the barbs

    Good stuff man.  Are you taking requests??? Love a shot of an owner st-41 to compare to the trokars.

    I just took a look at the Owner ST-41 treble online and it appears that it has their version of a "shovel cutting edge" similar to what the Razor Edge sharpener produces. Interesting......
