[l.i.fish.in.vt]

i chrush the barbs on all my plugs,both trebles and siwash. i don't think i lose any fish because of it. i have seen PTmike land enough big fish for me to believe that it doesn't effect his landing rate. i know several other anglers who have landed more big fish than most and i mean 50 to 60 lbfish and they crush the barbs,thats enough for me to trust crushed barbs
