Best to sharpen hooks dragging POINT FIRST on the file. If you drag the hook point last, you will create multiple tiny burrs around the point. Or at least, finish sharpening point first.
Thanks, Lee! I really appreciate the tips you and Robbie provide. I also really appreciate you sharing those 'hard' days, where you do everything you can but the muskies just aren't cooperative. I used to really beat myself up on those days. Now, I try to learn from those days and chalk it up as a learning experience. Thanks!
Hey guys i go musky fishing in northern Wisconsin a lot I finally caught my first-ever musky. 41 inches that my profile pic. Thanks for the awesome videos
I don't trust myself with a hook file, I use a hook sharpener with a groove. I'm going to have to get myself one of those and practice on my buddies baits.
Do a video how to clean reels for noobs like me
Haaa, you noob!
lool *crunchy*

Correct! I was going to comment the same thing.
@@danbasara4547 yes, just like we draw a knife edge into the stone to sharpen.
Yep- you want to carry the bur away from the point- not pile them up on tip of the hook. Just like you sharpen a knife.
Interesting how much bad information there is out there about sharpening. Point into the stone or file is the correct way, not like this video shows.

Thanks for videos like this - I know they dont get the big numbers but they are extremely useful!
Excellent video. The way you showed and explained it is really clear. Thanks!
Thanks for making this vid guys. I feel like my hooks are going to be even sharper now!
Your videos are well done Lee! Great audio goes a long ways...
Thanks Clayton, those pike you are catching are Ridiculous!
Thanks! I wish I had Musky closer to me! Pike will have to do for now!

Matt B., Congrats! It took me a while to catch my first over 40". (Lee)
I have been musky fishing for over 1 year now and I finally got one. I caught a 36in pike last year
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing
Thank was an excellent instructional video on proper hook sharpening. I appreciate the info. I have subscribed based on that quality instruction.
Great demo!
I hope someday I can actually use a 13/O hook to catch a fish! Good tip about the WD-40
You should always use a hook as small as you can. Best for hook up percent and injures the fish less if you plan on releasing it.
That video was worth watching. Nice job.
Thanks
What is the biggest sizes of your treble hook that you're holding? Please answer me question.
Pushing away creates a bur on the end of the hook.
Ya i just ruin my hooks everytime i try to sharpen them , musky fishing is the worst.....
I lost 3 muskies over 40 today. 7 total this weekend. time to sharpen up!!!!
Do a video on how you clean your reels
Owen Jansen, maybe this winter when we are all dying of Cabin Fever. I'm sure there are plenty of good ones out there already though.
Love your channel
Fishers fishing, thank you!

Ha, just keep the angle very slight and watch where the metal disappears from. Lee
Little details make all the difference.
would a Dremel 7300 work for sharpening hooks
Probably take metal off too quickly
Hi there thank really for
WRONG.
