What kind of sabikis have folks had the best success with? I've been using better ones lately, Owners and Mustad, #10 or #12. I had used the Big 5 bait rigs with yellow and red yarn ($.89), it seemed those caught primarily greenbacks but I haven't seen them with smaller hooks the past year. With the bigger hooks it's hard to get the bait off without damaging them sometimes. Someone mentioned pinching the barbs with pliers, that works great when the bait is plentiful, makes it easy to shake off the macks directly into your tank.
