    Wetzel only crushes the barbs on the rear hooks. Never the front ones. The back ones because if they get stuck into the side of the fish the fish has leverage in dislodging the front hook.
    Pretty sure he doesn't crush the front ones is because he DOESN"T WANT TO LOOSE THE FISH!!!
    Next time I see you out there fishing you better have all the barbs on your plugs crushed or I am throwing you and them in the ocean you barb crushing tree hugger!

    I don't crush barbs a lot but when there are tons of blues around I do it.
