Nail clippers with a lanyard attached – for clipping lines.

Hook sharpening stone - small
Cheap plastic twine stringer
Cheap plastic hook disgorger
Swiss Army Knife or Lock blade
What are yours?
I heard emery board can work as a hook sharpener, anybody try this? I also have a small wet stone for knifes I try to sharpen hooks with... not sure if it works though XD
Still trying to learn about proper hook sharpening =P

Fine Emery boards can work, as would your small stone, so can the file on a nail clipper.
I've tried many different tools for hook sharpening: from stones, to diamond files, to expensive battery operated gizmos - and yes some worked great - but for the price a cheap stone like the picture below is that I have settled with.
Does a half decent job - can get em for $2 - they are small and light weight - and you can attach them to whatever with the chain... I attach mine to a boat key ring float to save it from ending up on the bottom of the bay.
