Hi there, just found you and subscribed, congratulations on reaching 200 subs… As someone who only uses Barbless, I agree with other comments, kinder on the fish, less hassle when they come out in the net and don’t hurt as much when they catch you in the back of the ear on a windy day… these are some cracking fish and just as frustrating when they pop off as those we have this side of the water… Good luck.

Thanks, barbs are crushed but could maybe do with another bit of a squeeze hard to get it right and not damage the hook too much

[@pescuitcuDaniel]

What rod is that and wt

[@NorthernIrelandFishingReports]

Good fish but Barbless hooks mate come out easier and doesnt pluck the fishes mouth. Tight lines mate 👍

[@FeildsportsNI]

Cheers barbs are crushed but the 1st fish had it in a hard part on the roof of its mouth

[@NorthernIrelandFishingReports]

@@FeildsportsNI can hear them pluck and see them sticking mate. Multiple times. Maybe not crushed enough eh 😂 not having a dig just giving a bit of advice. Barbless work just as good i

[@cykix9499]

Lol yeaaaaaaaah got agree looks like barbed or not fully crushed hooks lmao

[@FeildsportsNI]

Hard to get it right crushing the barbs had crushed a few of them too much and it can end with a snapped hook if it gets snagged or a decent fish takes it

[@davidgregg8757]

Wudnt matter if there barbed or not it’s just aul stocked fish. Good fighting tho

[@Kittsy-e9g]

Lovely big fish but barbed hooks would be better sounds like the fish's jaws are getting plucked and damaged

[@FeildsportsNI]

I tie on b175s and crush the barbs, hard to get the barbs completely flat sometimes without damaging the hook too much
