Barbless hooks for fly tying
Best for catch & release
Barbless hooks are becoming increasingly popular both for fly fishing and for fly tying. This is because barbless hooks allow fish to be released much faster, more easily and more gently. This is not only important for dedicated catch & release fishing, but also for safely releasing undersized fish or protected species caught unintentionally. In addition, barbless hooks are also safer for the angler. That is why we offer a wide range of premium barbless hooks from leading brands, allowing you to choose the ideal hook shape and size for every fly pattern. Our barbless fly-tying hooks are forged for maximum strength and durability. The chemically sharpened points penetrate extremely quickly thanks to the absence of a barb, while the specially designed hook geometry still holds fish securely and reliably during the fight.
In our assortment you will find quality hooks from the best brands: dohiku, hends and hotfly. In particular, hotfly has recently created a series of 12 high quality barbless hooks at a very competitive price, which will allow you to tie many different types of dressing.
The main features that must have a quality barbless fly fish hook are:
- Chemically sharpened tip: much thinner and sharper
- Inward facing tip: preserves sharpness and reduces the possibility of loosing the fish
- Forging: makes the hook much more robust
Barbless hooks are definitely in step with the times and allow you to make a correct catch and release. The fishermen who use these hooks are more and more numerous and the waters populated by delicate and precious wild fish are increasingly managed by associations that prohibit the use of hooks with barb.
