are there any pratical uses for barbless hooks?
#8
this past winter, there was a guy who left his tipup out over night, and all the next day with out checking on it, when he finaly got around to attending his tipup, the line was busted.

of corse this means there is a pike swiming around with a hundred foot of line hanging out of his mouth.

I would emagine that if he had a barbless hook another fish swallow would push the hook though. the way it stands now, I imagine the pike will die of starvation. For this reason I can see why barbless would work for pike.

I am not happy that the tipup was not attended properly, even once an hour could have prevented this from happening. [pirate]
