Do what i did mate, tied up a wee box of patterns i really trust but on Knapek barbless hooks, they were the only flys i took with my for about 3 months to give barbless a "fair go"

Quickly it dawned on me i was hooking more fish missing less bites there fore catching more fish

Fish can jump, roll, headshake, what ever just keep my rod up no worries

Best of all i dont get flys stuck in my landing net,trousers, finger anymore Give them a fair try mate you "WILL" be pleasantly surprised
