    Do fish see the hooks hanging from our plugs? Many use fluorocarbon leaders for fear of their leader being seen, but what about the hooks hanging all off of the plugs we use? What do you think fish make of them? I'll tell you what I think but I'd appreciate hearing what you think first.happy3.gif

    Do folks on here think it important (or necessary) to sharpen hooks? I'm talking both single hooks and on artificials. If so, do you sharpen them when new as well, or just once used and blunted? And finally, how exactly do you properly sharpen a hook? Appreciate the input!
