Members Barbless Posted December 31, 2010 Author Members Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks for the hospitality folks. I have created a 20% of coupon code if you would like to try out some unique barbless hooks or flies. No min order and pretty inexpensive shipping. Use code "ozarks" at www.ouchlesslures.com Have a nice New Year. Lee
Members Barbless Posted December 31, 2010 Author Members Posted December 31, 2010 Can you put a bead on those? HI, No, I tried but the kinked hook design is pretty unforgiving. No beads at this time.
ozark trout fisher Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I started pinching down barbs about a year ago. I do think that it makes catch and release quicker and easier, so I think it's pretty worthwhile to pinch down the barb. I don't really lose that many more fish that way either. As far as I know, there aren't any places in Missouri yet where barbless only is the rule, and I'm split on whether there should be. It may be that the single hook vs. treble hook argument may be the more consequential of the two in the end. By the way, welcome to the forum.
