Yeah, that's right. The new regs state that all hooks used in areas 5-13 are required to be barbless, no matter what species you're fishing for. The only exception is for multi-hook herring jigs. This is going to cause a real problem for people who fish with bait for species other than salmon and those who are stuck casting from shore. When you hook a rock cod or ling, half the time the first thing they do is shoot into the rocks, where you have to give them slack line and wait until they come out. If there's no barb, what's to keep the hook from falling right out? Soft baits such as pile worms just slide right off barbless hooks when you cast. IMHO it's a totally stupid and pointless rule.
