The BL are sweet! They last longer too, you don't get that corrosion starting where you crushed the barb or ground it off...]]> Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:28:50 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=89979&PID=1285362&title=rats-hitting-stickbaits#1285362 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=89979&PID=1285361&title=rats-hitting-stickbaits#1285361 Author: ReelAppealLures

Both singles and trebles are capable of doing serious damage, but if you want to use trebles look for Owner ST66BL. BL = Barbless. The tail hook usually does the damage if hooked on the belly, so many run a single on the rear.

Unsure if Tightlines are bringing in the BL range? but if you get stuck finding some pashy, flick me a PM.]]> Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:26:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=89979&PID=1285361&title=rats-hitting-stickbaits#1285361 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=89979&PID=1285340&title=rats-hitting-stickbaits#1285340 Author: KingySlayer

I think Owner make a barbless treble, the gape/curve is slightly different from a standard treble. GoFish had some a while back...
