For my own and others safety, I always flatten the barbs on my topwater lures, and any other lures with multiple hooks, whether singles or trebles
It had been a lovely experience using this rod and reel combo
The Zeal is an affordable rod with plenty of quality components like carbon-fiber blanks, stainless steel guides, and Zirconia inserts, and a reel seat with double-locking nut
Like I like to throw some like jiggles in there, some up and down, some back and forth poles, like do a little bit of everything with it
When using treble hooks, be cautious about gut hooking as they have multiple points
Keep in mind eggs arent weighted
