Bandersnatch Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 Do you think their performance changes after heavy use? It’s obvious that it’s winter and I’m bored. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2 fish Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I’ve never had to sharpen mine after 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandersnatch Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 You tapped or glue on boss? Man I’m bored. You run a dual blade setup? Let me tell you. I ran a dual blade for the first time this past summer up in the weedy north country and it was life changing, for fishing that is. It was equally as big of a jump to 2 blades as it was from none to 1. Now I need to see if I can fit three!! man I’m bored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Bankc Posted December 29, 2023 Super User Share Posted December 29, 2023 I don't own one, but I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea to sharpen it. I mean, is it possible to cut weeds too well? Does anyone ever say they're not getting tangled up enough? Plus, I too like to sharpen things when I'm bored. I find it meditative and therapeutic. My hairless forearms will attest to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txchaser Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Not a terrible idea. I've noticed mine won't cut pondweed very well on the prop I have now. My old TM prop was much closer to the blade... seems that the pondweed just slides off and gets in the gap. Probably small files: I'd bet against me ever doing this, since we don't really have an off-season in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papajoe222 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I've had to file mine down because of nicks a number of times. Put an edge on it afterward and replaced it when it got nicked up again. I tried a two blade metal prop a number of years ago, but there was a big performance loss over the Ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tander Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Sharpened mine 1 times since I had it years ago. Probably didn't need it but I think it did improve performance slightly. Might add another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
