mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2015 No offense, Jont, but I don't believe you. I fully believe that barbed hooks will hold on better than a barbless. And now, since I am back home, I don't have to have ANY barbless hooks. So, all my flies have big, gnarly barbs!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
