Barbless works for me........just completing a great salmon season. Sure made the release of fish easy. Would be OK with me if 100% of the plugs, spinners, and other lures were single hook, right from the manufactures. Let them package their products ready to fish. Pisses me off that with many spinners and plugs, I must "cut the hooks off" and install a single hook to be legal.
