Dont know if this is close enough to fishing topics to be on this part of the board, MODS please move if needed.
on to the thought. I was thinking how to sharpen hooks. I know you can buy sharpeners at the stores, but I have never really heard the proper way to use them.
Do you sharpen toward the point or away from it? do you sharpen more than one edge of the hook? If so, should those edges be next to each other or on opposite sides of the point?
I was just wondering if it is better to have the hook be more like a wedge shape, or more like a sharp stick. if that makes any sense....[crazy]
