What else do y'all recommend?

I picked up a couple small Panther Martins to try out.

Also; do y'all bend in the barbs for easier hook removal, for releasing fish?

Thanks!

I like the Panther Martins because they have an easy " starting speed" because we fish by throwing them upstream, and retrieving them. Rooster Tails and Mepps( both good lures but...) often won't start spinning when you are retrieving them with the current at their backs....

Pinching the barbs down would often make life easier for you and the fish.

Also look at small Thomas Cyclone spoons if you can get them outside Montana....
