In the words of a famous kids program "Here's one Nick prepared earlier"

Like that? Line Aligner using fake maggot to disguise the hook To camouflage the hook in this pic I have used a fake maggot and created a line aligner with that. Again, the hook was tied on with a knotless knot and then the fake maggot threaded on with a needle

I'm not certain but I think most of the hooks in my bag , in fact on the market , are Micro barbed mate . Whether Barbed or Microbarbed I use side cutters to snap the hook prior to hook removal ( as recommended by several members here ) ....that way the pointy end comes out the way in went in Just to be on the safe side In fact I was discussing that very subject with the bailiff on my water only the other day and it is generally agreed that it's a good safe common practice .

Thanks fellas A Line Aligner ? - hmm , something else for me to think about , thanks Nick . What is your opinion on Micro Barbs please NM ? . Thanks for the recommendation Neal ; I'm guessing it was easier to put a blanket ban on using any Curve Shanks at Graviers rather than single out specific manufacturers patterns .
