While in the process of going through my fishing gear this winter I'm noticing a lot of dull hooks. I have small sharpener that I keep on me while fishing but I was just wondering if there was a model or design of fish hook sharpener that was more suited for a large number of hooks and a quicker end result.
Thanks in advance for the input.

........but I was just wondering if there was a model or design of fish hook sharpener that was more suited for a large number of hooks and a quicker end result.
I go with the theory that it is easier and quicker in the long run to replace the hooks if they are getting dull.
Like you I also keep a hook sharpener handy. But, if I notice that a hook is constantly getting dull while out fishing then I know it is time to just replace it.
My question is whether these chemically sharpened hooks take well to being reshapened.

whether Ice fishing, perch fishing, Jigging, Handlining....I always have a hook file with me!! If you can drag a hook along your fingernail....it's dull!! All my hooks will immediately dig into the nail!! This will put many more fish in the boat then you could imagine!;)
