hey don- i'm glad this has come up about the crushed barbs- i know they come out of the hand but do you think you loose any fish with crushed barbs on plugs- in the past when i've taken my brother in-law who only fishes once and a while i've crushed the barbs thinking he could release the fish by himself- but the fish seem to toss the plug a lot. im not sure you can keep a tight connection with hooks swinging off the plug like you can when fishing a single hook (i.e. fly fishing)
