I see a few different hook sharpeners out there, files, grinders, hones, stones. I suppose each type of sharpening tool has its place. Ever not hook up because of a bad hook tip point ?...don't lie, I know you have..so, how do you sharpen your hooks ? use Gamagatsu or other lazer or chemically sharpened hooks ?

I use the "scratch the thumbnail" method to see if my mustad hooks are sharp enough.
