Hook sharpeners

[FLTENNHUNTER1]

Do any of y'all use them? What brand? Do they work well?

 

[Bobyote]

Yes, orvis hook sharpener! It has two grooves on one side and one on the other. I think mine was 9 bucks. Works great.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

I do and swear by them. I just buy the packs of diamond coated nail files from discount stores and usually get several for $10.

With the advancements in hooks in the past 20 years, I find myself not needing my old hook sharpeners.

I just buy the expensive hooks now and don't waste time with the sharpeners.

the one exception was tarpon flies. I was a bit obsessive with my file. Especially between fish.

Use a whetstone on all hooks. Unless its the lazer sharp type. No such thing as a hook that is too sharp.
