Slow pitch jig for salmon

Stupid question time...I have an anchovy slow pitch butterfly jig and I know this has been clarified before but I want to be sure...barbless circle hook mandatory or any barbless hook?  I will not be trolling while I am slow pitch jigging. 

Are u testing a hypothesis?

I know the lake guys catch trout on jigs so yes I'm trout styling for salty salmon if I land on a bait party...mooching with a lure is my dilemma...

Ok I am using a barbless single hook on my jig, only barbless circle if I'm using bait.  Going once...going twice...sold....hopefully not down the river....

I’ve been using the Tsunami Trophy XHeavy slow pitch while trolling for salmon. It works great!

Yes, I like my acid wrap...

I’ve seen them caught on heavy casting spoons I don’t see why not.
