Had it for years, and it works!
,April 28, 2012
By Chockpish1
from New-Brunswick, Canada
Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"I've had this file for years! It works well! It does the trick for all my in-line spinners and other hooks. It puts a nice sharp point on the hooks and it has helped me hook more fish! It is not a hone, it is not a coarse file. It is a light grit file that works well for the purpose that it was intended for! No more no less! There are better products out there, but for the price it does a great job! keep it dry, use it with a light touch on smaller hooks, and it should work fine!"

"3 passes and my hooks were surgically sharp!
I was surprised at how dull "new" hooks were, even the top shelf ones.
Will be buying more as gifts for friends."

"This is the second hook file I've owned from Bass Pro
Shops. Its a GREAT tool to keep a needle-sharp
point on all my hooks. It's easy to use, only takes a
couple of seconds, and it WORKS! What happened
to the one I'd used for the past several years? Well,
I learned the hard way, they don't float. :)"

good hook file
,August 15, 2010
By getthenet1
Advantages: Ease of use, Value for money
Disadvantages: rubber handle bends
"For the money, this hook file can't be beat. It can't make sharp hooks much sharper, but is a good tool if you have a hook that is dulled and needs to be sharpened. When sharpening a hook with this file, start by running the side of the hook down the file in the opposite direction of the hook point (never file in the other direction). Do this for all sides of the hook and repeat the process several times."

It's not for fine work
,August 19, 2009
By JEMCG
from Florida
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality
"This file is just that, a file. To bring back a hook that is turned badly or really dull it's fine. However I find the final sharpening process needs to be with a finer tool. It's well worth keeping around and I always have one in my larger tackle bags. But it's part of a system not the only tool needed for the process."

"I have been using this file for the past few years. Make each pass 90 degrees to the previous pass and the hook will be needle sharp.
Keep it dry or the file will rust very quickly."

By FIGJAM
from Middle TN
"I purchased this file and man this thing will sharpen them right up. It is almost like a small hasp but it will Sharpen up the hook in no time. I had a hook that had some rust on it and it tore that off and sharpened the hook right up. There are others that are better for touch ups but if you want to bring one back to life this is it."

No hook file

By mokan
from missouri ozarks
"Bought this file while at BPS.
Very well made, good file. But, not any good for my tackle box.
Far better files, hook hones and sharpeners available.
May be suitable for larger catfish, trotline hooks. But, I doubt it.
Nothing wrong with it.
I gave mine to a friend."

Review 13 for Hook File
Overall Rating:
A must have in your tackle box!
,July 7, 2007
By Mike M.
"If you fish more one day a week you need to have a hook file! When you get a snag or run your hook on the botom on rock and logs and other stuff that can role the point of your hook, and even when you catch a lot of fish, that can dull your hook! So insted of changing your hook for a new one, just pull out your file and give the hook two stroke on either side and on the top of the point and thats all you need to get your hook point nice and sticky! It i so easy to do, you dont need to put a lot of pressure on the file, just brush the hook lightly! So easy to use! If Ican do it, anybody can! Great item to have in your tackle, for $6.99, it will save you money in the long run, because you can use you hooks longer! A must have! Give it a try you wont be disapointed!"
