Deluxe Hook Sharpener
This deluxe hook sharpener uses a diamond surface to keep all your hooks razor sharp. A sharp hook catches hold more quickly and more securely, so checking and touching up your hook points can make a real difference to the number of fish you land.
Even the best hooks lose their edge. Catching fish, snagging on the bottom, bouncing off stones and simply rubbing against other tackle all dull the point. A quick touch-up between fish or before you cast helps you make the most of every bite.
How to use it
Hold the hook firmly and draw the point gently along the sharpener, working from the point back towards the bend, a few strokes on each side. Use light pressure; you are only removing a tiny amount of metal. Then test the point by resting it on your thumbnail: a sharp hook will catch and dig in, while a blunt one will skid across. Repeat if needed.
When to sharpen
Check your hooks every time you land a fish or pull free from a snag, and before you cast out a fresh rig. Chemically sharpened hooks can be very sharp straight out of the packet, so you may only need to touch them up after use. For heavier specimen and sea hooks, regular sharpening is especially worthwhile.
Key features
- Diamond hook sharpener
- Keeps hooks razor sharp
- Improves hook-hold and helps land more fish
- Suits coarse, carp, game and sea hooks
- Compact size for the tackle box or rig wallet
Compatibility
Suitable for most hook sizes and patterns used in coarse, carp, game and sea fishing. Very small fine-wire hooks need a light touch to avoid over-thinning the point; for these, replacing the hook is often better than sharpening it.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the sharpener clean after use to remove metal particles. Rinse it in fresh water after sea fishing and dry it thoroughly before storing. Keep it in your tackle box where it will not be knocked or dropped.
Who is it for?
Any angler who wants to get more from their hooks, especially carp, specimen and sea anglers using heavier hooks for bigger fish.
