ya know, some folks say hooks are cheap,
I have to disagree with that statement (you did not say this) I have to disagree with that statement, this year I baught a packet of 8 hooks that cost 3.50 plus sales tax. a net of about .47 per hook.
I tied up 6 leaers with the 8 hooks and only used one of the leaders. and with that leader I have pulled in a dozen walleye, a multitude of bass both large and small mouth. with that single hook I put a good 12 pounds of fish in the frezer. of cource that hook paid for it self on the first walleye that sells for $7+ per pound.
now I am not complaining about the cost of hooks, who could I?[crazy]
so to turn this around to a debate about the feasability of resharpening hooks. when is it best to give a hook a lick or two with a stone or toss it out
