• Only moderate pressure is necessary for sharpening, as the hook sharpener is most
effective while applying light loads at high speeds. Too much pressure will slow the hook
sharpener down and make the hook difficult to hold in place.
• Always move the hook sharpener in the opposite direction that the bit is turning. This will
allow the bit to get maximum "bite" into the hook, and provide the most stable application
of force.
• It is important to sharpen the very tip of the hook in order to get a sharp, piercing edge.
Apply the abrasive to several parts around the perimeter of the tip to get the best edge.
• Positioning the rotating bit either perpendicular or parallel to the hook point can be
effective depending on personal preference and type of hook. Experiment with both
techniques to find the method that is most effective for your hooks (Figures 21 and 22).
• Sharpen first with one of the diamond bits, then use the stone bit to completely hone the
tip to a fine point.
• Bent or damaged hooks may be difficult to sharpen to their original sharpness. If the tip
is bent, it may need to be clipped short or straightened before sharpening. Be aware that
modifying the length or shape of the hook tip can adversely affect its ability to hook a fish.
Keep the hook tip geometry as close to the factory design as possible.
You can test for sharpness by gently sliding the point of the hook over your fingernail. A sharp
hook will have the tendency to grab and mark the nail, while a dull point will slide easily over a
fingernail. Do not test for sharpness with your fingertips or on your skin.
NORMAl MAINTENANcE FOR yOUR hOOk ShARPENER
The hook sharpener is not water resistant, and needs to be stored in its watertight compartment
in the main unit to protect it from moisture and salt water. Wipe the unit clean after each use
and place it in the compartment or another safe, dry place. The exterior of the sharpener may be
cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents or abrasives.
