Yes, do! I started using them seriously ten years ago and have not looked back. They've totally changed the way I fish.

It was mentioned in a previous reply, but sort of "in passing"... mash down the barb on your hook. Without the barb, getting a hook out using forceps is a lot easier and many times will make the difference in keeping the fish alive.
