Yes I have tried it and it works to well, I went back to using a Treble on the rear eye of my plugs, due to the fact that the Siwash are to deadly, If you use the size recommended, they hook to deep, A lot of the time near the eyes, And for the big natives the holes they leave near the eyes are sometimes to much. The smaller treb in a #2,#4 stay around the lips and I pinch the bard down on them to aid in removal. just my thoughts
