| Smallie fishing this spring I have gotten my xrap chomped off 4 times and I actually was able to see my lures suspended 3 of the four times. Good deal haha when I could get them back that easily. |

Location: Green Bay, WI | Interesting to see that it still took about 24 hours for them to shake a barbless hook! I've long since maintained that there's no reason to use barbed hooks, but of course that's just my opinion. But I know several very experienced anglers who share it. The point is that it's helpful to get some objective data to now back that up.
Thanks for posting the link that article.

Location: Lake Elmo, MN | Most of the Pike I catch are actually caught on mono with a 9" wire leader....so I have some shock absorption AND I get a great in-net release 99% of the time. The bait never really gets hooked deep enough to cause issue. Even with a huge set motion, I lose a few to inadequate hook set ....sure. But it helps my technique (never, ever have any slack or fish goes bye-bye) and helps the fish a bit I think. |

What happens when a pike swims off with your lure?
