Hi
Going PADS again in October and may use these hooks as you wont be catching loads of fish. Just wondered will these be ok for repeat casting and reeling etc?
Thanks
Tom

Yes, Just keep an eye on them mate, especially if you're fishing on gravel.

They were turned over in the little plastic case where they clip in and nothing can touch the point of the hooks?

You were very unlucky mate, I've seen loads of packs of Kamakuras and I've never seen any points gone over (out of the pack). I have however seen that with every other manufacturer/sharpener. It's all about the packaging fella.

Going wildly off topic
Just looking at the articles section reminded me of 'Wraith', whatever happened to him, he wasn't the same James Pullen who was a comedy writer and sadly no longer with us?

I use them but only for pop-ups and only 1 fish per hook. Defo not a runs water hook!
Got to say that I thoroughly enjoyed both these articles. Hats off to the pair of you for taking the time 👍
Just bought some will be trying this weekend seen all the comments They are sharp I will let you know
Not had a problem with the Kamakuras ,(Krank pattern) myself, 1 fish hook, 2 if your lucky though...agree on the J Precisions, have to keep an eye on them!
Favourites are the JH though, as Yonny said they are another level, love the Muggas and Chod patterns..👍 OK for hooks they might be expensive at around 70p a go but we will happily pay more than that for a lead and drop it on the take on some rigs!

I've actually just hunted down my login for this forum to start a very similar thread.
The kamakura hooks are probably the worst I've ever used. They're ridiculously sharp from the packet but I'm currently changing my hook every 6 hours at the moment. Any prolonged period in the water seems to blunt these... (Even with Foam)
Typing this from the bank, on a ridiculously tough syndicate, with the feeling that my rig probably won't catch if my bait is picked up, definitely leaves a sour taste!
A question for people with far more knowledge than me... How long should a hand sharpened hook ‘survive' in the water? I've tried the hook grease but no luck.
I've just ordered some Mugga hand sharpened hooks... here's hoping 🤞🏼
