Default Barb-less Hooks, Where to Buy? Reasonably

Hey, fly tyers,

Where can I find some reasonably priced Barb-Less Dry Fly Hooks??

must be getting far more popular these days, especially as most (if not all) of us are practising total catch and release.

Cheers

M

Fish 'barbless' 99.9 per cent of the the time and bloody tired of crimping down the barb .... looking foreward to 'where to buy;' damned near impossible to find them on this side of the Pond.

That's a good price for Barb-less hooks = £2.10 per 100.

Thanks

Phil at fly tying boutique sells some nice barbless hooks. I think he is awaiting stock but his b170 style hooks are superb.

A little bit more expensive than 2 quid a hundred but still very good value and he'll ship overseas: Cast-Again Eco - www.cast-again.com

I use these and have never had one straighten out even on trout up to ten pounds on size 18's. Only problem is he doesn't do scud hooks in barbless.

Take care

Terry

Thanks guys,

Links are very helpful! But I do miss my google tool bar when looking at Foreign tackle suppliers. I have no Translation device with fire fox!

Hey Mostyn;

If you have questions on the site I added just tell me what you want translated or Sebastian the owner speaks and reads pretty decent English.

Take care

Terry
