I do not believe there is such a thing as too sharp of a hook.
I think as fisherman we tend to over analyze everything and forget that a fishing plug is a tool. A fishing plug is designed for a specific purpose to hook a fish, most of us fish for striped bass and when they become very large they have very tough jaws and i want the sharpest hooks possible to penetrate those jaws.
I have taken my biggest fish on plugs that you would cringe at because i missed the through hole and there is a hole in the side of the plug. I drilled the weight hole where the belly hole should be so there is a huge gap. I fished all these plugs as do many other plug builders but we all do one thing and that is try to use the sharpest hooks.
Will a vmc give you hook rash - certainly. I think that is character to the plug not something I am at all worried about.
