I believe I bought them at Keffers about 15 yrs ago. I've only used them a couple times. I mainly use spoons n jiggin raps now. I want to try them out again but I don't get out that much and always go with old reliable. That drives my buddy crazy.

I bend the barb (barbless); caught fish I drop on the ice and they fall off (without having to get your hands wett). Fish need to be aggressive.
