The nano barb's role of anti ejection is only for the initial pick up..after that the hook behaves just like a normal barbed hook once the angler tightens up, the nano is so tiny that it presence is irrelevent one the hooks main wire diameter has created a hole...it's the same as removing a normal micro barbed hook.
Close up photos of the hook give the wrong impression...most people struggle to even see the Nano barb when they first pick up the hook.

That will have to do you though..as I don't have time to keep explaining stuff to people that don't get it... Theres a write up on my website...if you don't like the sound of it, don't buy them, and just move on.

A simple "not for me" comment will do...if you really have to broadcast your opinions... but just remember no body really cares what you think.

Would you like to buy some?

Now, now girls....
If you have not seen the hooks try and refrain from jumping on here with your derogatory comments just because you have nothing else to do...
Strange how the only people that post are the negative ones...and all the normal people either don't comment of buy a pack!
If you don't like the hook, don't buy it... if you do like it you can try it...

I tested it for over a year here at the lakes, caught loads of fish on them, and they unhook just like a standard barbed hook, with no extra damage... if not I would not have released them.

If you can't see the advantage of the Nano barb...and don't understand it's function, then it's not for you..is it, simple.

When you just jump online to slate and insult you just make yourselves look like *****s, nobody want's to hear any of it... Can't any of you see that?

That's excellent news, So anyone of us could simply, ask the doctor, and obtain a card which could one day save your life!
(would be good to have them even more available,as Paul suggests)

You may well have told me about that card a while back Nick, would explain where the idea come from !

My memory is shot to bits fella, can't think why.....

Hey Nick, how ya doing mate...
So did you make your own card up then?
Best keep it in your wallet mate! as if your found they will look through your wallet for help, but I doubt if they would rumage through all the kit.

Well done for bringing it into the spot light Keneth...
I told you some time ago you were the bloke to make people aware of it fella, 1st hand experience and all that.!
I too had a freind who died form Weils here in France(incedently, France is one of the highest risk countries), it took 5 days to kill him! he had eaten food that a rat had pissed on so it was a direct hit! he deteriated rapidly and died in hospital!!

WHY?..... well I''ll tell you, The reason he died,is because the doctors had no idea what was wrong with him, and thats it!
He had the flu symptoms and all that, left it because suspected nothing, then wound up in a coma(spelling?) and was unable, obviously at that stage to inform doctors of his last movements.
If they had known he was out on the river night fishing, then they may have looked in the right direction.

As I said to you a while back Ken, and I still think it''s an idea that would work....
If all anglers carried an information card in their wallet (like a credit card size)or an alternative format, which mentioned the fact that they are effectivley a potential candidate for Weils disease due to their activities in high risk areas.
This would eliminate the risk of the victims found with advanced symptoms being unable to inform the doctors of what they have been upto, and in turn saving their lives, by saving time with diagnosis.!
The money raised by the sale of these information cards, could be used to increase awareness of the problem amongst anglers, via the angling press, and forums such as this one.

Put it this way... I would have no problem paying 2/3 quid for the info card myself, knowing that it could save my life if I was found in a swim some where, and unable to let the doctors know what I had been up to.
It would cover you for every country, as medical terms are international.

What d''ya reckon?
