Title: Re: Barbless hooks
Post by db on Jan 11th, 2022 at 4:59pm
In the beginning you could crush as you go but I never paid much attention after that because IMHO, barbless hooks were one of the best ideas ever! After that first year I crushed all my barbs and replaced the pliers with a hemostat.

It takes a pretty hefty pliers to crush barbs on big hooks and the only losses I can blame on barbless hooks are jumping bass.
