I knew a guy like that. I got sick and tired of watching him try to put them on with pliers and would do it for him. No matter what I said or how many times I showed him, he just got the heebie jeebies from them so bad he couldn't do it. Honestly, it was funny as hell but I felt sorry for him so I never laughed in his face or teased him about it........that would just be rude.
But the killer was one time my bro and I took him out fishing and my bro's daughter came along (she started fishing with dad when she was 2 and LOVES fishing). So here's him asking me to put a leech on and this 10 yr old girl is going, "Here, hand me your hook, I'll put one one for ya" She never laughed either! She's a great kid.......gotta love her.
I have a picture of her and dad in the boat on Tobin lake with a 12+ lb walleye she caught. I've never caught one that big and I've been chasing them for 50+ years now!
I've fished all over SK and a few lakes in AB now and found that aside from leeches and minnows (never used minnows myself) beef heart has worked well everywhere I've tried it.
