hi paul! i've been fishing crushed barbs for 30 yrs on everything from trout flies, salmon flies, striper flies and plugs. i'm sure i've lost just a few- not the many at all- due to crushed barbs. i think you might get quicker penetration without the barb. if you fight the fish skillfully i don't see it as a problem- try it some time. easy fish and human release. you going tonight?
