Is there on one else that takes off the treble hooks and installs barbless treble hooks in their place? The fish just fall off in the boat and the barbless hooks don't tear up the inside of the mouth and throat if they take it deep. I get my hooks on Ebay.
I do this too. All my ratl-traps, crankbaits, topwaters, kastmasters, lil' Georges, etc have barbless hooks now.
It's a hassle replacing the hooks on 100+ baits, but well worth it. So much easier getting them unhooked when the action is fast, plus there are tons of 10-12" stripers on Whitney and the barbless ones don't tear up their mouth.
