barbless hooks

Any of you guys use barbless when fishing minnows for crappie?

I bought a pack by accident last weekend and was wondering what to expect.

Gotta remember to take my glasses into the store with me form now on.

You will still boat 95% of the fish you hook if you keep the tension. BUT the real light hit you aren't sure about at first will be able to spit it easier. I used them for a couple of years and it made me a better fisherman overall having to pay better attention to the strike.

...if your using a float.....your going to lose minnows.

Yep, with or without the cork. The barb was originally designed as a bait keeper and not a fish keeper...

You need to buy more minnows for sure.

I think you guys have convinced me............going back to the store with my glasses on this time!

Thank You.
