Do you sharpen or hone your hooks?what do you use?

I have well over a hundred lures with hooks that just aren't sharp enough( missing fish with trebles). No way I can afford to replace all those hooks. What do you use? Any recommendations?

just got the spyderco sharpmaker has a groove for hooks. Haven't used them but I may just give it a shot if we ever have a rainy weekend

I use a small hook file/sharpening stone that fits on my keychain.  I ordered it through Bass Pro Shops some years ago, but I don't believe they sell them anymore.  As long as you get the angles right and don't put too many strokes into it, it works.  I'll typically sharpen my jighead hooks (if I feel they need it) at home the day before my trip.

I don't bother sharpening trebles though.  I'll buy a bulk pack of sharp hooks, and will swap them out on lures when needed.  I'll throw a few of them into my lure box when I head out too, in case I need to get fresh hooks on my lure.  It's faster than going through the motions of sharpening, especially if you're talking treble hooks.  How many lures would you bring with you on a typical day?  And how many of those would you actually use in a day?

sharpener on my leatherman, which is always on my life vest.

I have tried using the wife's nail file to sharpen hooks in the past worked alright until the wife found out 

I have a larger file to prep at home but I always carry this.

I use diamond

If the hooks are for larger fish like salmon or rock fish,  take two round files like chainsaw files and tape top and bottom together. Place hook point in the file groove and stroke away from the point. Used to use this system for commercial salmon fishing when a hundred of hooks or more needed sharpening. Fast and effective.

I have a file similar to Mickfish's. I check hooks prior to going out.
I don't usually carry anything on the water to sharpen hooks with.

Charles, as a Commercial salmon fisherman I would love to see your method. Could you post a photo? It's amazing how quickly hooks dull and rust due to electrolysis when you drag them around on a stainless wire all day. I also keep a steel brush in the pit and knock off the rust every few times I work the gear. Replacing over a hundred hooks every few days is time consuming and expensive.

Jonesz gifted me a sharpener he makes. It's some sort of waterproof sand paper glued on a tongue depressor shaped kind of stick. It works magic on the hooks and it floats.

I just use a little grooved Wetstone  that i keep in the tackle box. I really like the two saw files taped together....going to try it

That is what I use and it works great.
