If you have a file/hook sharpener, you will be able to save/salvage a good percent of those that are not bent. That will save you $.
Ivan, I just went down to the shop to see what the number was on the box of bronze Mustads I used to use for livelining, but I realized that I had just dumped all my crap in a pile when I emptied the boat and the Tahoe. Not exactly finished with "putting the gear away" I guess... I say used to use because I was getting too many deep or gut hooks. Went to circles and would miss fish. Just use J hooks when livelining now. And given this past year, that would be referring to 2013......
