Think this is the route I will go to be honest.

I use the jag file and vice and the eye glass to sharpen the hook before casting out. Then use the Gardner point doctor to retouch the point when recasting and to remove any corrosion. If the point is obviously damaged then it gets changed for a new hook / rig.

Been sharpening my hooks for a few years now, however the corrosion always concerned me until I bought one of those anti corrosion crayons, quick few strokes with the crayon, flash a lighter over it and job done .
Good bit of kit 👍

That's what was suggested to me. when you think about it's quite likely. Wouldn't be the first time regular stuff has been repackaged as fishing gear.

They certainly do have the appearance of kids crayons 🖍, but they work remarkably well too 👍
Thinking about it they probably are just wax, by rubbing it on the hook point then flicking a flame over it you are just adding a thin layer of wax over the hook . May be worth trying a piece of candle!
