Can sharpening hooks improve inferior hooks on a lure. It is a pain changing
hooks and hard on the pocketbook too. I was thinking of going the sharpening
route but not if it is pointless.

I usually find it annoying when you all reply to the troll (he's killfiled for me).

But that was funny.

I would think that after irritating this board for over 4 years you have
learned by now.

What is the only thing that hooks fish?

You cannot improve the metal on an inferior set of hooks.

But a good sturdy split ring pliers for 10 to 15 bucks. They pay for
themselves after one use.

The only thing that needs sharpening and is pointless is your mind.

Not to be a dullard, there is a point to this fishing thread tied to hooks. "If
you are stuck with inferior hooks can they be improved through sharpening ?" As
a metaphor if you are attached to a woman, who might be named Barb, can things
improve or is it necessary to do a release.

How could that be possible?

Always test your hooks after sharpening them. Do this by inserting the
newly sharpened hook into your nose. Then tie one end of line to the hook
and the other end to a 10 story high balcony fence. Lastly, throw yourself
over the balcony.

Let us know how that works out for you.

Sorry William,

Lurebuilder (AKA) Alice, has to be retrained everyday. He is untrainable and
unlearnable. Yes he has been posting stupid questions to this board for over
4 years and continuously asks the same questions only worded differently
every few months.

Am I kidding? Not just no but Hel_ no.

That is why he is not liked very much around here. He is the newsgroups
version of the village idiot. Only for him it is by choice. Not by birth or
heritage.

Nope.
Dull hooks penetrate much quicker and easier. Leave them dull.

I am glad I hit home with that one. Got your hot button did I. I think it's
about time you grew up and flew the coop.

Eric
Please be patient you are on a backorder list. Also i'm very busy now fishing
and i'm sure you understand. Also there is a bit of a snag in the production
process. I've temporarily lost my shop due to a major cleanup and a domestic
fight over workspace allocation. I'm sure you understand such things, The main
thing is the R&D and the paper plans have been done.
So again please be patient and even though my costs are escalating they will
not be reflected in the selling price of the lures.
I have quite a few others on the backorder list so please everybody be patient.
Also i'm open to new orders since there is a certain economies to scale in
this whole process.
Charles could you please quote this so Eric can see it since he has me on his
killfile.

Meaning - Pleasure before business, any potential customers can go to Hel_.

> Also there is a bit of a snag in the production

Meaning - Mom kicked me out of the kitchen again. Hasn't your mom done the
same to you.

> The main thing is the R&D and the paper plans have been done.

Meaning - I figgured out how to traced the lure onto a sheet of paper.

> So again please be patient and even though my costs are escalating they

Meaning - No one will ever get the real ultimate lure. Damn, when did the
cost of a wood dowel get so high.

> I have quite a few others on the backorder list so please everybody be
> patient.

Meaning - Don't hold your breath.

> Also i'm open to new orders since there is a certain economies to scale in
> this whole process.

Meaning - Put your name on a meaningless list that is never going to happen.
Because my mom won't let me use the kitchen table anymore.

> Charles could you please quote this so Eric can see it since he has me on
> his
> killfile.

Meaning - Self explanatory.

I use a small pair of neddle nose pliers and a set of dikes. Just replaced
about 55 lures that rusted in my boat last winter. The lures with the good
hooks rusted little to none. So really you save nothing. Good hooks make a
difference.
