Since recently converting over to strictly catch & release.....

I've made some changes in the way I fish. I've noticed that my "hang-up/get stuck and break" percentage has decreased dramatically with what I've done. By just removing the hooks from the plug, I hardly get hung up at all. I still get the same amount of hits, not as many fish...but at least I know I'm not hurting the fish nor will I get hung up as often. Releasing gets done immediately, ...after all....if there's no hook to stick em' with, it's an instant release !!! I'm still working on the "Catch" part of it though . . .

....but I GUARANTEE, you'll lose less tackle.


Try it out, let me know if it helps.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
