Sharpening hooks

[Danny Lang]

Anyone out there ever sharpen number 2 crappie hooks, if so how, seems like when I put my file on it, it comes out more dull than when I started. Is there a brand of crappie hooks that are more sharper than the rest of them, what’s your favorite hook brand? Thanks in advance.

I haven't sharpened any in years. I liked a diamond hook sharpener when I did. I use braid so no line stretch

Me neither. Throw it away and get another. LOL

I have some Mr Crappie hooks in red and gold colors they seem to be plenty sharp . I like the cam action hooks as well. They seem to get them in the roof of the mouth more often then not

Buy quality hooks. Buy in bulk. Toss the dull hook

this .....sharpening hooks is a thing of the past , just saying
but if you must , a really super fine stone is the way to go , not a file

I agree with Ketchn that a stone works better than a file.

Tru-turn hooks are very sharp. Sharper than a mother in-laws tongue!

I use one of the mini paddle diamond sharpeners made by DMT. The red one . Fine . It works great on knives too.
