Never used them and never will. The hooks I use only cost me £1.99 a pack and have all been sharp enough for my liking.

I do personally. Any downtime watching tele or on the bank I'll sharpen hooks and use earring backs to protect them

I spent 10 years doing it myself. Absolute ball ache. When the JH ones came out it was a revelation. The time it took to do them was worth more to me than the few quid extra to buy them done.

Surely if hand sharpened hooks is of such importance to people, they learn to do it themselves, rather than pay extra for someone else to do it. We spend enough time on the bank waiting around, theres plenty of time to do it, and just learn on old hooks.

Why I'm happy using the hooks I do. Every hook is checked and put into a foam sleeve in the packet. A lot cheaper than the big brands and as good if not better

What JP does is give you a 'free' hook box if you buy 8 packets or more as well as offering numerous box deals throughout the year. For me those boxes are great as I only need the one box with multiple sizes and patterns. I find myself much more organised now than when I was carrying multiple packets, or boxes of hooks around with me. I do agree with you that I am also not a fan of the packets hooks traditionally come in

It seems pretty obvious the op is thinking of selling hand sharpened hooks and just wanted people's opinion on a few things.I think the j precision hooks are reasonable priced but would pay extra to have them in a box like ridgemonkey and korda kaptors used to be,helps protect the points

My syndicate has got quite hard this past 6 months and it's really quite interesting to see those who are still catching. I believe 2 fish in the past 6 weeks have been caught 1 by me and now another dude who also happens to use J Precision hand sharpened hooks has caught a 30lb ghosty this morning.
I do notice when the going gets tough these little edges all help. Fish are not moving so fast, so wont be using the force of the lead to drive the hook home.
Ps: make that a new lake record
