Circle hook and a balloon float with that on it just under the surface will catch you the biggest bass in that stretch of water hands down.

I ate 2 of those for supper tonight. They are sweet.

Had a small Bluegill take a top water bigger than he was once. They can be quite ambitious sometimes 😆 tight lines

I could not have launched such a beast. I'd nee bigger gear and a seat.

An absolute unit? That barely qualifies as a keeper

I’d keep it for sure, but it’s not anything I’d be impressed by. On that note, catching a frisbee sized pan fish on light tackle is really fun. I like the way they fight, they are fast little things.

Yup, they pull real hard.

Treble hooks make fishing less fun

They are outlawed for the most part in my province. It's fine as we have very few bass fisheries, and the bass we do have gladly take single barbless.

I've pretty much stopped using them and plan to replace them on any lures I want to keep using.

Fuck treble hooks, putting 2 on one lure is double unethical. Completely unnecessary
