    Best to sharpen hooks dragging POINT FIRST on the file. If you drag the hook point last, you will create multiple tiny burrs around the point. Or at least, finish sharpening point first.

    Yep- you want to carry the bur away from the point- not pile them up on tip of the hook. Just like you sharpen a knife.

    Interesting how much bad information there is out there about sharpening. Point into the stone or file is the correct way, not like this video shows.

    Thanks, Lee! I really appreciate the tips you and Robbie provide. I also really appreciate you sharing those 'hard' days, where you do everything you can but the muskies just aren't cooperative. I used to really beat myself up on those days. Now, I try to learn from those days and chalk it up as a learning experience. Thanks!

    You should always use a hook as small as you can. Best for hook up percent and injures the fish less if you plan on releasing it.
