That's your point not mine, mallard and mike. You won't get it untill you get good with barbless fishing. What are you guys bass fishermen? Why do any more harm then you have to to makeup for your inadequacies as a fisherman? That's what I would like to know. All you fancy dancy CnR jokers that fish with barbed hooks really freak me out, man. Dudes, just try the barbless hooks it's not that hard. And don't go out the first time and start tallying up your loses, it is an adjustment that takes time. If you don't switch.......... good luck not getting caught.

PS "I was speaking to a charter who caught a ling off the coast that was living with one set of gills completely torn apart." Is that good?
