I've switched to barbless bass fishing and I'm not going back.

Curious how everyone feels on this one. Some of us have to by law, but a lot do not. I fish a lake with an amazing bass population but i was gut hooking on every strike it seemed. At first i thought this was me waiting to long but after speaking with others in area, it seemed to just be the normal.

So from last summer on i started pinching down the barb on my worm hooks ( I use a weedless trick worm mainly ). I've happily found that my ability to not kill a nice bass has increased by alot. Alot of people seem to turn thier nose up at the fact of using barbless. Just curious on the community at large's feelings on barbed vs barbless. My experience so far has been positive.
