Advantages and key features

A well-sharpened hook is essential to ensure good penetration when setting the hook and to reduce hookups. This hook sharpener lets you extend the life of your tackle while maintaining optimal performance. Rather than systematically replacing your hooks, you can maintain and optimize them before each outing.

The diamond/ceramic combination offers an ideal compromise between speed of action and fineness of finish. The reworking phase with the diamond surface corrects tip imperfections, while the ceramic smooths and polishes the contact area. This gives you a regular bevel, ready to penetrate the fish's mouth with minimal effort. It's a real advantage for all technical fishing where tip quality makes the difference.

• Improves hook-up rate thanks to consistently sharp hooks.
• Saves gear: maintain existing hooks rather than systematically replacing them.
• Versatile tool, usable on many models of single or treble hooks.
• Discreet accessory, easy to store in a vest, bag or tackle box.
• Particularly useful for anglers targeting wary fish or hard jaws.

Usage tips

To get the most out of your diamond and ceramic hook sharpener, proceed in stages. Start by checking the hook point with your fingernail or by gently touching the skin: if it slides instead of marking, sharpening is necessary. Then always work in the same direction, from the inside to the outside of the point, to preserve the original bevel profile.

• Use the diamond side to rework a dulled or slightly damaged tip.
• Make a few regular passes while maintaining a constant angle relative to the shank.
• Then switch to the ceramic side to smooth and finish the sharpening.
• Test the sharpness regularly to avoid removing too much material.
• After sharpening, wipe the tool and store it in a dry place.

Remember to check the sharpness of your hooks before each fishing session, after a fight with a fish or after snagging on the bottom. Regular maintenance with this hook sharpener ensures rigs always ready to set effectively.
