Nice video and thanks for sharing some great helpful information! Appreciate you and what you do my friend! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Keep up the good work!
It's not always necessary if you're just fishing open water or light vegetation, but anytime you are fishing around rocks, gravel, or wood, or even catching a lot of fish with big teeth, you could be dulling your hooks quite a bit.
Nice vid, but it's important to point out that 1000 grit isn't always 1000 grit. A 1000 grit from one manufacturer can be equivalent to 8000 from another. I was also disappointed you didn't mention hook sharpeners, because there's a ton of these small hook sharpeners available which you can store in your keychain or tackle box. They work exactly like your little diamond sharpener but they're far more compact and bringing one with you takes less space than a single lure. I really like the "Westin Diamond Pen" for instance, very nice way of sharpening hooks.
Thanks for the comment. I tend to sharpen a lot of hooks at the same time (especially over the winter) and I find the larger stones/blocks to be more efficient, but you are right that the compact sharpeners are great for using when you're on the water and need to sharpen a few hooks.
@@FishingwithNat Even then, there's some really good ones like the one i mentioned. I really like how narrow it is because that makes it simple to sharpen treble hooks effectively. As well as functioning as a nail file when you're on a long trip... :p
I like the whetstone method. Super easy and fast
I agree
i love fishing with nat, the info the footage and honestly make your outro longer it's perfect atmosphere for fishing moods
Haha thanks. There are so many beautiful lures underwater. I love watching them too. :)
f ay May each of us be surrounded by care, love and positivity! op
I gotta sharpen that same lure you have here! All those lures came a bit dull. Thanks for the tips!
I agree. I bounce them off of a lot of rocks too so they always need sharpening after a season or two.
Great as always, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback
Great video and Thanks man!
Thanks - I appreciate the feedback

@@FishingwithNat I fish in open water like aqueducts and small ponds with lots seaweed
@@macc12cj You're probably not dulling hooks too much then unless you're scraping along concrete walls/bottom of an aqueduct
Thanks for the tips
You're welcome!

I was going to say the same thing. Keychain hook sharpeners are great.

The length of the stones is why I like wet stones because one can adjust pressure over a long plane. And not to mention quite meditative to boot.
@@Black-March Cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Nat 🙏
