Barbless Hooks for Fly Tying
We advocate always using barbless hooks when fly fishing.
In recent years, the barbed hook has almost completely disappeared from all fly tying tables. The barbless hook is becoming increasingly popular. These types of hooks, also called barbless hooks, are already mentioned in many waters around the world as a must. Depending on your choice of water, you should already tie barbless flies. The advantage is that it will be easier to release the fish. Beginners often have problems quickly releasing fish that are too small to carefully put them back.
Why is it a good idea to fish with barbless hooks?
First of all, to "mishandle" the fish less. Practice catch & release, extracting a barbless hook from a fish's mouth is easier and causes less damage than a barbed hook. This guarantees the best chance of survival for the fish.
