Tye 1 on Lures
Proudly presents:

The following information was taken from the Alberta Fish and Wildlife website:

The barbless-hook-only regulation
for Alberta anglers came into effect
April 1, 2004.

Barbless hook refers to a hook that does not have barb(s), or its barb(s) are pressed completely against the shaft of the hook so that the barb(s) are not functional.

Barbless hooks are easier to remove from fish, allowing more fish to be released without being handled or removed from the water. They are also easier to remove from clothing or your fingers!

Anglers may still continue to carry barbed hooks if they wish, but any hook used for fishing must be barbless.

If you don't want to go through your hooks and remove the barbs, where can you get barbless hooks?

Tye-1-On carries barbless rubber bodies and will be releasing a line of barbless jigs, spinners and flys later this fall.
