Yup. I do. If making bait is tough, it can be frustrating to lose a few, but most of the time i reel em in fast, keeping tension on the line, lift into the yak/boat and they fall right off without tearing up their lips or noses.
I also make my own sabiki rods (4 so far) out of PVC. End up only using 3 hooks so its shorter and cleaner. The whole mess reels right into the PVC so theres nothing to snag. When i see bait, i just grab it and "bombs away" out it comes.
