Re: How to sharpen used hooks
I have and sometimes use a pocket pen like device that has a long, 2.5", stone with a grove in it... but more likely I simply toss the hook in a proper disposal manner and tie on a new one. Most smaller hooks, 5/0 and smaller, resharpening weakens the point area, MPO, and they were originally sharpened chemically.
