Both the Donmar CP100 and the Donmar CP125 have served me well over the years.  Small, cheap (around $10) and easy to use. t^

Get the 100 for smaller hooks and the 125 for larger ones.

Mine one size fits all, no need to buy 2, and at 5 bucks you can buy 4 for what you spend for Bob's model ;D  ovrbt

Been there done that...on a tuna trip with a hot bite no less!!!!!   and no, I aint kidding!

Personally I use a fine file for hooks I reuse(trolling hooks, sword/shark hooks, bucktails/jigs etc)  everything else is sharp outta the box and gets tossed after a trip.
