Barbless hooks

[goggs]

Hi guys,Whats the best barbless hooks for small nymphs and wets? Ive been using the partridge hooks but seemed to be losing & missing alot of fish...Anyone tried these Knapek or Dohiku barbless hooks? 14's & 16's

I've never felt the need to go barbless, preferring instead just to crush the barb.  I quite like the little bump it leaves too, which I think helps to hold the fish while still allowing the hook to be removed easily with minimal damage to the fish.

That's what I do. I have never bought barbless hooks.
