Talked to a few about SMB and they all went barbless on the trebles.

Thanks for all the kind words gents!



I do crush my barbs, better for the fish and my peace of mind, but I haven't abandoned treble hooks just because I barely have time to fish, let alone change the hooks on all my treble lures!

Take a look at the TroutA-Control lures (@trouta_control on Instagram), they have some nice lures that come with single hooks already installed. I have been using them and they work!
