hi noz, are they allowed barbed hooks in the uk now, i remember from my days of course fishing they were banned, dont know about sea fishing over there never done it, sad isnt it, being from grimsby and never done sea fishing till i moved over here, i think the whole point with barbed hooks is security, even then its not 100% as last weekend proved, the reason i use barbed is, that was all i saw when i went to buy, as for prefrence, i cant say, as i hardly catch anything.
