The one thing a barbless hook will do, is give you better (deeper )penetration on the hook set. If you keep the line tight, there won't be a huge difference in landing ratio. The way I look at it is that you may bury the hook a little deeper on the ones you would have not gotten with the barb. (Just an opinion)

The biggest bonus of going barbless, (a fact) is that if you whack a hook deep in your finger or other body part, you walk away with nothing more than a minor puncture wound. Sure beats the trip to the doc for a deep one. When I used to take clients out for redfish in Louisiana, I fished barbless exclusively. Too many hooks flying otherwise. I can remember at least 3 occasions that it kept us from cutting a trip short, after someone doinked someone with a hook. Something to think about when you are in the middle of no where on a fishing trip. Nuff said
