Hooks for newbie
Re.My apologies for the original posting under this heading on many
English Fisheries reverting back to barbed hooks. Maybe I should have given it another heading, but it seemed more to the point than some of the replies to this heading. It must be obvious to any reasonable fisherman that these are "Put and Take" and / or "Take Some" and return the rest fisheries. If their commercial experience after years of barbed hook fishing followed by years of barbless hook fishing has concluded that barbed hook fishing, by the average fisherman using their waters costs them less in fish replacements.Then so be it the £ or $ rules. If this is the case and they obviously think it is, then there seems no point in getting ones nickers in a twist when getting ones tights off, to check if there is a barb prick on a hook, because if there is it could do less damage to the fish! Much better then to let the fishermen have there own choice, taking into consideration all circumstances prevailing at the time. Keep smiling -- A Yorkshire Lad Remove spam filter to reply |

Let's face it. When going barbless, we all go a little easier when playing a fish so it doesn't come unglued from the hook. If we had a barb and cared less about it, we just muscle the fish in. This is nonsense. The "we all" you're referring to doesn't include me or any of the people I've fished with. If there were a difference it would be just the opposite. If it's barbless, you need to maintain pressure to avoid having the hook slip out. If it has a barb that's less important. There's no way that the presence or absence of a barb makes the hook more likely to pull out due to excessive pressure. It's just as easy to muscle the fish without a barb.

"Reed Waters" wrote in message ink.net... I am just getting started at this and I am overwhelmed at the varieties of hooks. Is there a basic hook assortment available somewhere? If not, what are a half-dozen or so hooks for dry, wet, nymphs and streamers that I can get. |

Al, I know you're kind of new around here, and I appreciate the mention and all, but you might want to check the date on posts before replying. That's a pretty old one, and the original poster is probably long gone. --Stan |
