Are you crushed??

[tattoobob]

Never Did it never will

[blue oyster]

not only do i crush all my barbs i cut off at least one of the hooks on each treble ,i just hate to mangle the fish when they take the hook in both upper and lower jaws

[Slingah]

blue fish blitz's and dinks only....then not even always...

I always crush the barbs since a barbed hook led to a lot of agro when it went into my hand once out at Montauk. I think the suggestion to switch to a single hook on the back of plugs makes a lot of sense and will try that this year.

Tail hooks are all crushed. And like everyone else when targeting schoolies and blues they are gone.
