D-Barb

I know a few of you in here have seen me use this little item a couple of
times and I think it's awesome. I like to promote it, even though I have no
affiliation with the company, because it works, and it saves fish. With the
Classic coming up, I'll have mine to show anyone how great it works.

The testimonial offered on one Web page was pretty compelling, too.
There are some soft baits that bass seem to take down their gullets
immediately. Being a line-watcher and trying to set the hook faster is
the usual advice, but no matter how hard I try, a few bass end up
gut-hooked. Needle-nost pliers have a wire cutter, but often it's not
in a good position to reach the hook.

Looks like it should do the job, Jerry. Good leverage on the cutting
blades and a long handle to reach far back in the gullet... coated for
a secure grip... They just need to add a ring to one end of the grip to
clip on a lanyard.

Shouldn't a C&R Fisherman debarb the hook BEFORE its in the fish?

If you de-barb before you fish, you may land a lot fewer fish. This is no
good in a tournament. Even us C&R bass guys need to fill the livewell
sometimes.

Agreed, but how much fishing do you do in tournaments, as opposed to
practicing for tournaments, or even just plain old recreational fishing? --
this is a group in the "rec" hierarchy after all.

Did you even bother to go and look at the tool? I think not. If you
had gone to the link provided initially, we would not be having this
discussion right now. And you would not be pluckin' my nerves as my
Nana used to say. Here it is again http://www.dbarb.com/ so you can
see WTF you are talking about.

Looks like a good idea. I'll check it out at the classic.
