An early September silt feeder for TA Consultant @the_maverick8 from a local club lake.

Seeing the big mirror in the nearby snags the day before, he cast his Tungskin and Curve Point wafter rigs out to a previously found silty spot, where he’d seen bubblers in the weeks leading up to the capture.

After the thick morning fog, a late morning bite revealed an old adversary in his net, in the shape of this 41lb chunky mirror.

Jonny Fletcher shares his top tips for when it comes to hook sharpening…

Don’t go to the extreme…
I really don’t go mad when hook sharpening; by removing that small amount of coating from the tip I feel I’m enhancing the point without weakening the hook or altering the pattern. These super fine points look great but in reality, just aren’t practical in many fishing scenarios. Five or six strokes straight up the point, using the groove in the TA Hook Honer is usually more than enough, it really is that easy!

Use PVA foam...
I’ll never not use a sharpened hook, even when bottom bait fishing on gravel spots I’ll happily use a sharpened hook, but I will always use PVA foam to protect the point on the drop.

Protect the point…
I’ve found the cleaner spots to be the worst when it comes to corrosion, so will always protect the exposed metal with Vaseline. You’re effectively taking off the coating which protects your hook from the elements so replacing that with some kind of waterproof barrier keeps that point sticky.

Practice…
If you are unsure and worried about wasting perfectly good hooks to start with, then I would start by practising on some old rigs. Get yourself an eye glass too, as using one will help massively. You will be amazed how much life you can put back into a dull hook with minimal time and effort.

Not the park lake monster @john_finbar_cash has his sights set on, but for what it lacks in pounds it certainly makes up for in character!
