Barbless hooks for crappie?

Anyone else besides me use barbless hooks for crappie? It makes the hook much easier to remove after the fish is boated. It also does less damage to the fish if it is going to be released. Gives it a better chance at survival.

Although you make some very valid points. In my case, not a chance.

Dont fish with shiners and it takes a 5.5-6" fillet to hang off the spatula so reach back there and unwad them drawers.
