Do it!

old? me too! But still fishing and exploring.

I hope that there's a way for you to go fishing despite your age.

If you near Leeds let me no I'll help you go fishing 👍 seriously

Never too old for a fisherman's redemption. We all love it and for good reason. Hope you get back in it and catch a good one (or more).

Just eat the fish if it dies

@@ScheidenMc 1• that's cruel 2• if it's a canal fish the canals in UK are horrible, don't trust nothing out of there

@@alfieballard5684 i think it is cruel to just do catch and release for your own enjoyment

@@ScheidenMc as oppose to catch and killing it

@@ScheidenMc I take absolute all the steps in fish care to ensure the safety and release of the fish

I think it makes it work like an assist hook on a jig.

I agree. Db fishing is poor, don't like his way of fishing. Arrogant

I do the same thing when changing hooks. One of those moments where you think - why didn't I try this before!

I don't get/understand circle hooks. They are as unlogical as click bait - I mean Bit coins - to me..

No reason not to use them. Well, i won't give up my triplets in the smallest of lures i have, which are anything between 1-2.5 cm long. The hooks are so small that without there being 3 of them, you won't get the fish up if it is decent sized, the hook is simply too small. But those triplets i have in use, i make sure they don't have the barb in them. Also i use only one hook, not 2. The one being in back of the lure. Works like a charm and in those smallest sizes, comes out as easily as one hooked one, if not even easier if the one hook is barbed. I mean the issue is the middle hook the lure has which causes it to go to eye etc. yet it is completely useless hook in small lures since the whole lure fits in the mouth of the fish and even if not, the back hook hooks only the mouth, it is the middle hook that injures them. It doesn't really matter is it triple or 1 hook, it will still damage the fish, no matter how you place it to the lure.

@@duhni4551 The lure i used was a 3cm Gunki lure . No middle hook at all . 2 tiny fine wire trebles front and back . Now i just use a single hook on the back . Each to their own . I use single hooks from now on and i debarb my hooks or buy barbless . I can live with losing a few fish .

@@elwooddestiny11blues20 In small lures the "front" is middle hook in my mind, as it is positioned in middle, not in front as it is in larger lures. But that doesn't matter, the point remains the same. Use only back hook and you have no issues of injuring fish with the extra ones. Yeah, what ever works, works =) That is how fishing goes =) I don't mind loosing them either, but loosing them isn't the point either ;)

@@elwooddestiny11blues20 I think i should mention that the original hook sizes was and still remains to be 12 and 14 in the smallest lures i have, they have 0 chance of keeping normal sized fish if it is only 1 hooked. Normally i use size 6 hooks as it keeps the most small ones off the lure, but then again the point of the smalles lures of mine is to get fish you won't get with larger hooks or lures. Dilemma of the life =)

Feels much better when the barbless just falls out of the fish and you can take a quick picture and slip him back into the water

I don't think he's allowed to advertise them. I'm sure someone has asked that before

Check out trout and UL lures, for example regular trout lure weighs about 3g and is about 3-5cm long. You won't find single hooked ones but with the most smallest ones but then again, you can always change the hooks your self, box of 26 hooks costs about 1-2 eur. (well in here, naturally prices can change regionally). Point being, won't break your bank.

Then they are IDIOTS. Thicker wire - probl solved. I've designed angler stuff since 1992.
