I dremel the barbs down and dab the bare metal with super glue so it won't rust.

Dangalang - Sounds like a good way to do it. If only I had a Dremel. It's on my not-so-short list of things to buy...

I used the same set up last weekend. They worked great. They are nice because the wire flexes so the fish dont shake the hook as often as the tradional solid 1 piece trolling hook.
