How do you check to see if a hook is sharp or not ?
Also, how often do you check them ?
Thanks in Advance

I concur with that, usually whilst I'm tying the damned thing on!The alternative is to try it in my hand (my usual method)
Yes, the thumb nail test is one used by many pike anglers to check sharpness of hooks. Crucial when you consider the design of a pike's mouth, and that very fact alone, nessesitates more regular sharpening, than with the soft mouthed species.
So....there's no point in shelling out on anything more elaborate then,Derek ? I was looking at those Jag things but wondering if it was truly worth it.
Phillip,
All my sessions are ''fun ones'' .
Seriously though, If predator anglers were to discard every hook after every session, costs would treble, no pun intended .
