Absolutely true! Used to call them "fish killers". The tiny trebles are a problem unhooking when they get inhaled.

Best all around lure for the larger pond dwellers is a spinnerbait. You can fan cast an entire industrial park pond on a lunch break. Always good for a few bass and pickerel. Single hook does no damage and is pretty weedless.
