Most hooks are sharp enough when you buy them, but always check your hook regularly when fishing because a blunt hook can result in poor hooking resulting in fish 'bumping off'.
Also when you are using maggots, a blunt hook can burst the bait, reducing it's liveliness.
You can touch up the points of large hooks with a sharpening stone but with small hooks it's easier to replace them.
Taking heed of this tip could mean the difference between landing and losing one of those specimen fish that swim in the Rother and Arun.
