Nice, Brian. I think I'm going to search this entire site looking for your postings. What a hoot!

Those VMCs are deadly, I have drawn blood repeatedly while testing them on newly bought lures. Needle-sharp (as opposed to razor sharp) is what you're going for. Be a little careful, as over-sharpening is possible, and the point will just bend with pressure from the hookset. My rule is if they stick me, they will stick a musky, I don't care if VMC made 'em that way or I had to.

I always sharpen my hooks after buying a bait, very rarely have I found a bait straight from the store with needle sharp hooks. I can't count how many times I have been looked at strange or drawn the comment of "What those hooks aren't sharp enough as is". I would rather be safe then sorry.

The new MI plasma point hooks seem very sharp. I know I poked myself with them many times while playing with my new pro dawgs. Not saying they don't need sharpening though.
