I'm all for barbless in most situations, especially on treble hooks as it makes releasing them soooo much easier. The only issues that I have with barbless is when you are trying to pinch the barbs on a small fly (think size 16-20), a good portion of the time the hook breaks, I wish I could buy them barbless arghhh. Aside from that the only other time I wish I could use barbed hooks is when I'm ice fishing for whitefish, they are able to slip off the hook too easily some times lol.
