Why Barbless
The workshop Knapek, established in 1989, to produce flyfishing hooks in small quanities, especially for competitors in flyfishing contests, but now used by all.
Why barbless?
The reply for competitors in flyfishing is simple: Because competitive rules exclude artificial flies on barbed hooks. But trend to fishing with artificial flies on barbless hooks is already increasingly evident in flyfisherdom nowadays. There are doubtless reasons for that - practical as well as ethical.
Setting into fish jaw is much easier, because resistance of barb towards tissue penetration is eliminated. Result is remarkable decrease of fish lost immediately after setting. Artificial flies tyied on barbless hooks minimize number of hurt fish, because it´s possible to extract fly easily, even without taking fish out from water.
People think that fish may be frequently lost while landing, not so as it´s flyfisherman´s skill and special construction of Knapek´s hooks as well, which minimize this possibility.
