I've never had one get past the barb. I say that now next tim I go I'll have to cut the hook to get one out lol.

My best friend, took a girl that he liked, fishing on Lanier. With a crankbait, he buried a few hooks, from two different trebles, past the barbs, right in her shin! There was definitely blood on the deck, and after a trip to the ER, it was their last "get together". As for me, my dad hooked me in the chin, out on Hartwell. He didn't realize it, and immediately started flicking the rod tip, like he was hung in a limb and trying to tug it free. That's the only hook that has passed the barb, so I've been pretty lucky. Love your channel, and the only one that I've clicked the bell! Keep posting, and I'll keep watching.

Had one past the barb in my forearm when I was a kid fishing with my dad on his boat. On the transition forward in his cast it slapped into my arm and he knew by the sound and tension he got me. I was looking the other way and was quiet for a minute until the shock sunk in, then I yelled ouch, you got me. Luckily he knew how to remove it and about 5 minutes later we were back to fishing.

I mash barbs on all of my crankbaits and only really leave them on my finesse setups. It's pretty common in fly fishing circles, but I don't see it with most traditional bass fisherman. Any reason why?

When are you going to put up a video of you drop shoting on 20lb braid?

Thanks 👍🏾

It’s great for bottom contact

Thanks my man

Glad it helps my man

Don’t like him. This is how I tie mine!

Ok I've tied them using your way and the carolina keeper. The only part I liked was only one knot. And I've also tied it with glass beads

Oh and i was wondering im planing to fish Russell this weekend. I'm from laurens sc on greenwood but been having a very hard time finding quality fish. Any suggestions on baits and where to look aint got very expensive graphs but run hummingbird helix 5 with si and di

wanted to order chatter bait kit but sadly you where sold out....

A little thing called Covid my man👍🏾 when that’s over and zman is open then I can order again

@@BrianLatimerFishing sounds good I didnt even think about that hopefully this will clear up soon and we can get back to normal.

Is the drop shot a different thing? I've been watching videos on different ways to rig up and that seems to be it's own type

@@ryanmccue8180 Yes, drop shot is totally different, nobody had even heard of that back when the Carolina rig started.

I really hated the braid on a Carolina rig

I spend hours replying..... I’m not sure where that came from

@@BrianLatimerFishing No hate bro. You're a busy man. And I didn't want to waste your valuable time. Didn't mean for it to come off like that.

Never liked those

@@BrianLatimerFishing Thanks for taking your time to respond

I don’t use those

@@BrianLatimerFishing just something a bit different. But who am I lol

@@thereelaccountant9246 If you dont like his setup dont use it use yours, no need to be salty. Also your forgetting this is his career he isnt someone trying to steer you in wrong direction if he dosent like something its becouse hes tryied it and it dosent preform the way he likes it to.

@@Jayx22 how was I being salty? I simply made a comment that you can do it with 1 knot because that was the only con he listed.

@@Jayx22 and why do you think at the end of my 2nd comment I said, "but who am I lol" ..... obviously I know know he's a pro fisherman. You are really bad at interpreting text communication.

Man you ain’t kidding

I didn’t even realize I didn’t have a beard🤷🏾‍♂️
