Advantages and highlights

The main advantage of this hook sharpening vice lies in the control it gives the angler. By locking the hook reliably, it lets you focus entirely on angle, pressure, and consistency of your sharpening. This results in sharper points and better penetration, even with fine leaders.

The carefully designed shape of the vice allows a natural grip whether you work under desk lighting or with a headlamp at the water's edge. The ability to brace it on the knees adds real comfort during long sessions when you need to rework several rigs in succession.

Because it accepts a wide variety of hooks, this support quickly becomes a central tool in your hook maintenance kit. It helps extend the life of hooks, maintain a constant level of sharpness, and avoid replacing your favorite models too often.

By investing in this type of accessory, you standardize your sharpening method and gain consistency. Each hook is sharpened to the same angle and finish, which contributes to cleaner sets and a higher catch rate over the long term.

Usage tips

To get the best results from the NASH Pinpoint Precision Sharpening Vice, start by positioning the hook in the vice so that the point protrudes sufficiently to work comfortably. Tighten so the shank is immobilized without deforming it.

Then use your sharpening stone or file with steady, consistent strokes always in the same direction—from the bend toward the point. The vice helps you maintain the chosen angle, which is essential for precise and repeatable sharpening. Work in short passes and frequently check the sharpness by lightly brushing the point against your fingernail or a suitable surface.

It is recommended to clean the hook after sharpening to remove metal residues, then check that there are no burrs that could damage the leader. Store the vice in a box or pouch with your other fishing accessories to protect it from shocks and dirt.

Always adapt the pressure and number of sharpening passes to the type and initial condition of the hook. A few seconds are often enough to restore a dull hook to a fully operational point.
