Members Barbless Posted December 30, 2010 Members Posted December 30, 2010 There seems to be no where to go for professional grade barbess tackle - You can check out www.ouchlesslures.com They specialize in barbless-only tackle. Check out the promotions page for a decent discount.

FlyFishinFool Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 There seems to be no where to go for professional grade barbess tackle Not true - you can get barbless hooks (Tiemco, Daiichi, Mustaad, etc.) at Feathercraft, T.J.Hargroves, Cabela's, BassPro, and lots of other mail order stores like J.Stockard. If you are going to try to plug your specific website, you could at least not try to justify your shameless plug with a total mis-statement! * ´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((º> .¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> I look in my fly box and think about what should guide my choice of the best fly: the amount/angle of sun on the water, the water temp & clarity, what bugs are hatching, what the fish might be eating, and what worked last time. Then I remember what an old man told me... " Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown, fuzzy, about 1/2 inch long and underwater."

I did not see any barbless lures or crankbaits on these sites. Are you saying that they only sell barbless fly hooks? You mean if I want to use these sites I have to build my own barbless flies and lures? www.ouchlesslures.com only sells barbless crankbaits, spoons, spinners etc...

Lot of ready-to-fish barbless flies are for sale at all the well-known fly shops and fly websites. Looks like your site also sells barbless flies. I routinely make my non-fly fishing lures barbless - just take a pair of forceps and about 2 seconds per hook, and presto....instant barbless! * ´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((º> .¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> I look in my fly box and think about what should guide my choice of the best fly: the amount/angle of sun on the water, the water temp & clarity, what bugs are hatching, what the fish might be eating, and what worked last time.
