Rapala makes a fairly inexpensive tool that does double duty. The tip is like a small drill and is great for drilling the paint out of even the smaller jigheads. Attached to the same shaft is a sharpening stone. It even has grooves and a clip to lock the hook in while sharpening to keep the hook at the same angle and to prevent hooking yourself. I think I purchased mine for somewhere between $10 and $20 @ the BPS in Cincy a while back, but I am almost certain I have seen them @ the one in Clarksville as well. Good Luck. Oh yeah, almost forgot to tell you, I have found the triangular sharpening method to work fairly decent. Just sharpen on three sides and you should have no problem. Also try the lighter wire hooks and punch the hook thru the bait and then re-insert the tip of the hook like the others suggested. Good Luck.
