Do you sharpen your hooks....

Often? I do. I've had this sharpener in my tackle box for years. Like the two groove sizes on it, and it works fast and easy. I go thru my most used lures during slow time in the Fall, and I'll touch them up after a day of fishing. I figger if the hook won't "bite" into the top or your fingernail, it isn't sharp enough. ;)

That sounds like something for a retired guy to do. I don't even get time to go fishing, much less sharpen hooks. :D

No, I sure as hell didn't, boober. Can't get on my case about "off-topic" dump. I'll just wander around and do the same. Say! How was that 'mater soup and toasted cheese last nite? Remi get a bite? :P

Only 32 years? I've already just about put in that time and I'm only 46 years old. ;)

Yada Yada yada....:tired: :grin:  OK, I'll add the various jobs/years until I took my full time vocation...now I'm at 42 years.  First part-time job at 14 every day after school as a bus boy. Worked all thru high school for money to buy things. I was pushed out the door on disability a few years ago.. A forced retirement. Life can be terrific!  But, I'm not talking about that one. :mad:

Only in open water. They rarely seem to need sharpening in hardwater fishing.

Same for me, although I have a small stone with the groove in my winter box that I use once in a great while.

 

I started working part time a week before I turned 16, went to full time after I was out of school (including 2 years active duty in army) and retired at age 62. That was MORE than enough working for me!!
