E-Z Lap

[Mobasser]

I'm wondering if any BR members have ever used the EZ Lap diamond hook sharpener?                                       I just ordered two. I bought my first one in the mid 1990s. It's finally worn out.                                                      The one I like is about 4" long, and fits in your pocket like a pen, or can be carried in your tackle bag/ box also.        This one works especially well for light wire hooks. The EZ Lap company has been making diamond sharpening tools since the early 1970s.           Any other fans of this tool?

I have a similar product made by Smiths and love it. Originally bought it for sharpening serrated knives (it has a pointed end and a flat end), but it sees much more use for fishing.

I have a couple of those sharpeners around somewhere, they work good but I usually use the diamond file on my Leatherman because it is always there.

I use that MO. I’ve went through a few over the years. They work great. I’ve used the Cabela’s branded one also. Don’t think there is anything better for touching up straight shank and wide gap worm hooks. Easy to store in your pocket or keep on your boat deck. Or both.
