Yes mate I would only use beak points in barbless
They tend not to tear as well

I've used barbless now for a good 2 years , I can honestly say I've had no problem at all , I've been using the esp trigger hammers and the Korda Kurvs without a problem at all


If I get a fish I hve to change the hooks 95% of the time

He was a decent bloke but question his rules at your peril

He was quite happy with my filed off barbs, fishing there was probably the first time I'd done it

I switched to barbless a while back, I've had no problems at all and so much easier to remove. Nash Fang X is a really nice, strong and sharp hook.

IMO no disadvantage to using barbless. Clean hookholds and no problems with losing fish
