I tie my own flys ,some down to size 18.a fly that small fished with a barb may only last one fish,due to the difficulty of removal. the same fly fished barbless,may last a half dozen fish due to ease of removal.yes the odd fish may be lost useing barbless,but I can assure you that is no fault of the hook.
for me this is a no brainer,barbs are hard on fish hands down.who in the barbed camp wants to try taking a barbed hook out of a great white,theres a study I would like to be a witness to.
