Go Bold, go Barbless!

Get ready for the Quetico Park fishing adventure of your life ahead of time with Gamakatsu barbless treble hooks from QueticoFishing.com! All you need to do this is a little bit of patience, a pair of inexpensive split ring pliers and these nifty, barbless treble hooks. To get an idea for the size you'll need for your favorite plugs, just hold up a quarter next to them and eyeball it. Somewhere close in size should be just fine.

Note the quality of these Gamakatsu barbless treble hooks in this closeup shot. They feature incredibly strong, forged and hardened points. VERY, VERY SHARP!

Fishing Tip: When you are using barbless hooks and not an agressive "hooksetter" you have an advantage. Barbless hooks link in deeper without the need for a strong hookset because there's no barb to driving in to a fishes jaw. When you get a hit, keep the line tight and you drag set properly.

Barbless Advantage: When you accidentally drive this hook into your knee, you can pull it out easily 99% of the time by yourself. No more torn up jeans and far less permanent and not- really-wanted, jewelry!
