tried barbless the first time this year for pike and it was great made releasing the snot rockets o so easy and the giants didnt get off.our spring pike trip will continue with barbless all other ocasions barbs.
ultra heavy baitcaster loaded with 80lb power pro 3 prongs and marshmellows.or just let em spawn up the creek and actually get them to bite hook em and have a blast landing them in the harbours piers and river mouths.
my experience with piers or river mouths are best on overcast or rainy days.but night fishing is usually the best with glow spoons.during the day i prefer to chunk gobs of skien those slimy buggers cant resit the skien.
brrrr dont get me wrong i love chrome and fish em all fall and winter but ill take warm weather smallies and buckets any day.i prefer to have feeling in my fingers when i fish.
used them a couple of times recived them as a gift,had good success twitching them through lillie pads.but im sure other soft swimbaits would work just as well only cheaper.
