Question regarding the JP Precision advanced range.

Anyone using them? Thoughts? Are they hand sharpened as it isnt clear on their site. Also hows the sizing? Usually i like a 4 but seeing as they are not available is the 3 massive?

I believe that all the hooks on the website are now hand sharpened, apart from the UFB. I can't comment on the size 3 as the biggest I use from them is a size 5 wide gape which I use for the majority of my fishing

They aren't sharpened sadly..
I can lift a 4 oz lead with the barb in my finger, the hand sharpened ones are much better than the steel ones with the blob on the eye
Ps.. The sharpened ones rust overnight so make sure you coat them with something

yes I'm using the curve ones, all done by hand was my understanding.
3 isn't massive, likely 4's not available just due to demand.

I like them, sharp but not to the extreme of a kamakura.

Jp hooks are good but availability is pretty bad.. I've just switched to ib hooks which are really good

2 week turnaround isn't too bad as long as you're not in a rush
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
