Well I know I shouldnt but as in the past so many here on AN have shown an interest in my favourite Diamond Eze-Lap hook sharpeners I thought it might be kind of acceptable to post this!

 

 

 

Ive now been able to get an account with the manufacturers and get them direct from the US.As such I'm offering them for sale on my site- BASS-ONLINE

 

As a thanks to all the AN guys who have encouraged me to get these in I'm offering them at a special deal to ANer's of £6 inclusive of P&P (normally £7.20 + £1P&P).If you want to take advantage of this order by PM ing me here on AN rather than through my site.

LOL - Budgie Dick, it's not a problem.

 

To anyone reading who doesn't know Budgie (recently AKA Dick Dastardly), he is old, ugly, but one heck of an angler and 100% reliable with the stuff he sells. :D :D

I went into my old-fashioned hardware shop in Poole (still there, Boone's in the High Street) in 1981 asking about tiny carborundum stones to sharpen hooks. That was the days before high-carbon steel and chemically sharpened hooks. They have amazing stuff hidden in drawers. The man fetched out one of these same sharpeners and I still have it and still use it. Simply the best!

I've used mine regularly since you put me onto them a few years ago Budgie. I can't believe I never used to own one! Absolutely essential kit in my opinion. As well as coarse fishing, it's been a real life saver when fly fishing. How often do you have one fly that's doing the business that suddenly gets blunt...

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

I know I've asked this before but can't remember the answer, down to what size hook is practicable to re-sharpen? I use mostly 14 & 16 with the odd excursion to larger sizes so usually just replace them but it's surprising how quickly I get through hooks, a couple of snags here & there and it's lost its point.

 

I'll PM you anyway Budgie, if I only use it a few times it'll always be quicker and more convenient than tying a new hook.

It's never a 'six', let's put it back
