Do Barb-Less hooks make a difference ?
Barb-less hooks do not appear to be a disadvantage. several people have been using then for many years now an have not lost fish because of a the lack of a hook. You don’t need any particular brand of hook. Just buy a good pair of needle nose pliars with flat sufaces in the jaws and flatten the barb down. Granted this is easier with some hooks than others but is always possible. Chemically sharpened hooks because they are sharper and have smaller barbs.
