I'm looking to grind down some hooks - does anybody have some photos of a favorite pointed hook? Any hook collection photos will be appreciated as well!

Looks like a good question for Mark Hudon. If he doesn't post up send him an e-mail.

You know I think the good old Chouinard/BD skyhook has gotten more use than my Leepers ever did.
As for the OP's question, I just ground them down like the photo in the second response.
