Anyone who has had a barbed hook embedded in their flesh ought to take a

Some of us who've had a barbed hook embedded in our flesh (Triple gang
hook in hand) will never fish with or near a barbed hook again. I
tend to spend some time each fishing / camping trip checking my barbs
and squishing down any barbs on new hooks. Makes them very easy to
remove.
