I bought the schmuck catcher in the wee size. Can’t wait to try it Merrill Res. Fish are calling me.

Really cool but of course there is a journey to catch some of the tanks that PA posts. Great to see this progress for you. I’m sharpening the fillet knives. 😂

Do u use pliers and compress the barbs? I found an area with large Rockies and wanted to try this there.

I like needle nose pliers for crushing barbs generally.

I've also used fishing pliers and they work, just not always as easy.

The fishing pliers with the split shot crushers can sometimes get into small trebles where other pliers can't.

Forceps often don't have the strength.

These work good if you have enough room they are pretty small over all.I really don’t de barb many hook I generally use micro barbs that hold but don’t rip a big hole when your trying to get them out.
