TLHSS's post in Ultralite Bass was marked as the answerI mainly fish a Texas Rig with small (3 inch) soft plastics. Weightless or as a Jika rig.
I like the Gamakatsu thin wire hooks. Offset shank worm EWG size 4. St#58308 (red) and St#58408 (black).
I remove the barbs and keep them very sharp.

TLHSS's post in Where to put extra bass was marked as the answerFrom the 2025 Illinois Fishing Regulations booklet:
"Fish may be immediately released back into the
waters from which they were taken, but permission
from the Department of Natural Resources must
be secured before releasing fish in other waters"
So I would say you cannot release them in a small creek without permission from the Illinois DNR.
