Hook Configuration
Survey Time again
 Now I know the reason why barbs are placed on hooks, but to not lead the witness or rig the results in any way  The survey question is...Do you press down the barbs on your lure hooks or not? Then after voting, feel free to respond as to why you do, or do not on the artificial baits that you throw and any trends you have noticed because of such, one way or another

I fish for Pike in Canada once a year with a couple of friends that convinced me that it is much easier to get the treble hooks on a Mepps Cyclops spoon out of the mouth of one of those toothy creatures. Even with jaw spreaders and neednose pliers and barbless hooks, it can be a fun time for all if the Pike isn't all that tired out when you bring him on board.

All of my flies are barbless and any rod that I use to catch bait with I pinch down the barbs. Other than that, the barbs stay on.

Leave them on! I cannot stand the sight of a fish geting off when you have fished hard all day long for it. They are there for a purpose and I like that purpose. Mine stay

yup.....bend/break them off. Might as well give them a fighting chance and if they are not within the limit it does a lot less harm

Barbs have their place until they're embedded in your hand, leg or other dangling appendages. After getting hooked by the business end of those things twice, you'd think I'd bend them down...but I don't. Maybe after the next time I'll have a change of heart.

Puter I have, in all honesty , never bent the barb on any hook. Now having said that and being an old timer I will continue to read and learn "never to old to learn" and make changes that will improve the future of fishing. JEB

Thanks for the responces thus far, but I see that several did not read the survey question as close as they thought they did
With that in mind, and since I set the poll up where you can change your vote, I will let it ride a little longer before I comment any further on the survey... This before everybody goes (now why did I not think of that Dave) but I love the debate thus far! I also have another new subject survey in the works, so stay tuned
