Looking for suggestions for a hook file. Mine are shot. Need something that will handle larger trebles. Best one I ever used was twin round files butted together but I can't seem to find them anymore. Any advice?

I've heard a few guys use two chainsaw files taped together. I use the Hansom one, does OK.

I just use a 6 inch mill bastard file.

Leatherman wave multi tool has an excellent hook file, scissors that can cut braid like butter and pliers for unhooking lip hooked fish.
I love mine. (When I can find it)

TattooBob just found the one I really like and have used in the past - just couldn't remember the brand name. Donnmar CP212 Big Game Hook Sharpener

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I've been using one of these for several seasons and love it. It is small enough to fit in my bag yet the sharpener doesn't rust and it puts a great point on hooks large and small.
