#1 I agree with but 2 and 3 I disagree. I fish barbless on all my flies and lures for them and haven't lost a fish yet because of it. Alot of times a quick release boatside with barbless hooks can make the difference between whether they swim away alive or not. Also, I haven't lost a fish yet to their teeth from not fishing wire. I use 10, 12, or 15lb Fluorocarbon.
