Quinte Fishing

Just wondering if anyone cuts the hooks off the front and back of jigging raps have heard mixed reviews all I know is when they hit edge of ice with fish on its not good lol watched a few big gals swim away because of them

I cut the back one off but leave the front

I also cut the back one off which makes landing fish easier

I always use to cut them of ,, but have been leaving them on all season . I have had fish stay hooked on only the front and back hooks. So now I don't cut them. I lose some at the hole but also catch them on just those hooks sometimes. so for me it doesn't matter !!!

I saw a YouTube vid with Italo fishing near Belleville. The guy he was with nipped the front hook off but also superglued a rattler in the centre of the tail fin. Does any one else do this?

that was steve yarow who did that he is a super hero when it comes to walleye i also recommend cutting at least the fron one off some times the back one come in handy when the bites is soft or short

If you find they are giving you a problem, then I'd say cut them off. If you're worried about losing fish, replace the factory treble with a larger size. #4 or 6 I believe. I would guess most of the fish are hooked on the treble hook anyways, and a larger hook would give you a higher hookup%

There's something wrong with that rod.
It has a bend in it!!!

I do the same, cut the front hook one off and glue a rattle under the fins on the back, haven't had much confidance in them untill late , been using the snap rap and getting some nice fish,

I don't cut anything off. I got 2 today on the front hook!! For the amount of fish you could possibly lose I don't think it's worth it. I would rather get a hookup and lose a fish at the hole then miss a bite altogether. Just my view.
