Barbless for Bass
One of the 11 bass caught today ‘eye balling’ me as I removed the barbless hooks. If the bite is hot, I like to flatten all the barbs on treble hooks to make releasing the fish easier and safer. Barbless hooks are far safer for the angler and cause less damage to fishes eyes, gills and mouth parts. All fish were caught today on a #jackallblockripper, using 8lb #shimanopowerpro with a #shimanocurado 70 and #samakizinggen2 SZG-541BL rod. At only 5′ 4″ its a very sweet combo for chucking small hard bodies at snags in skinny water👌
