Question; I have certain hooks that when I pinch the barb breaks off and leaves a nub. Some nubs I can file down but some of my more expensive ones don't. Is there a tool for helping with this problem?

i agree Gus....but its another case of specific circumstances....what if they dont use the jaw spreaders and it takes 10 minutes for them to remove the hooks?.....kinda have to wieght the odds
