Sharp The hook points are sharp and can be used fresh out of the packaging without any touch up. The barb is quite fine and would not interfere too much with the full penetration of the point, but my personal preference is to press down the barbs for the easy and complete penetration of the point which will allow the best possible hook holding angle. Pressing down the barb also makes it easier to unhook the fish and therefore provides safer to handling. This new single hook works well with small lures for small fish. 55
