With the very old Hardy hooks that I have there is no way pinching the barbs down works, a broken hook every time. I’m not the only one who uses a Dremel to remove the barbs. It’s a fine tool in both senses

It must be that "manly guide strength hand & arm muscle" you have, Barry, from rowing/casting all those years!!!

btw - i use a Dremel to grind down the barbs as well - works quite well I might add.

Carl, If you have any Dai-Riki #270 size #10. I use them on some of my soft hackle patterns.

Hi John
I found a few packs of #12 and #14.
They are not full packs but if you are interested, send me your address in a pm and I'll mail them.
