One of the things that I do to ALL of my Sabiki hooks is bend the barb back against the hook, it makes removal of the bait much and I mean much easier. I usually flop the Sabiki with the bait attached right over the kayak and the bait will usually jiggle right off. Doing this also gives me a chance to drop the Sabiki back into the water without skipping a beat. I will usually leave the bait in the well until the bite slows down, at that point I grab them and throw them in the bait tank. Bending the hooks back also helps whenever they get hooked on something, they will slide right out.
