Barbless hooks for fly tying
Best for catch & release
Barbless hooks are becoming increasingly popular, both for already tied flies and for fly hooks for fly tying. This is because barbless hooks make it easier, quicker and gentler to release caught fish. This not only plays an important role in catch & release fishing. Undersized fish or protected species that end up on the fly as by-catch can also be easily released. In addition, barbless hooks are also safer for the angler. That's why we offer a large selection of barbless hooks from the best brands, so that you can choose the right hook shape and size for every fly pattern. Our barbless hooks are forged and are therefore extremely strong. Due to the lack of barbs, the slim, chemically sharpened point penetrates faster, while the special geometry also holds the fish securely and reliably on the hook.

- 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.
