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