I went for barbless hooks as I follow all my fishing clubs rules. In my type of fishing like piking I do have to go for the semi barbless treble hooks as one barb to hold either a livebait or deadbait.  I find now days I hear a lot of rumours on the barblees hooks tend to do more damaged than the barb hooks. |

Same here Andrew i fish barbless only waters where the condition of the fishes mouths are terrible, and waters where barbless are banned and the mouths are in A1 condition. And also vice-versa
I think barbless hooks cause more damage during the fight, but barbed cause the damage on removal, so it's probably a case for fishery managers to look at the quality/experience of angler before making bans.
For day ticket waters, maybe barbless are better, but If I was confident in the experience of anglers I would go for barbed every time.

Barbed in weedy situations, barbless elsewhere. Unless club rules differant. |

Barbless, as that's what the rules say.
As for which makes and models well that all depends on the size of the carp, and the method and bait I am using but a selection of Kamasan, Drennan and Prestons covers all my options.
