With its razor-sharp point and barbless design, this hook penetrates the fish's jaw quickly and holds securely. We find that many people are switching to barbless hooks not only because they simplify releasing fish, but also because the barbless design makes for a more secure hook-up with the fish. The TMC 103BL is a versatile design and can be incorporated into dry flies, soft-hackle patterns, CDC flies and emergers with ease.
