Hello,

So I always wanted to use barbless hooks on baits. Now the only issue with this is that they are hard to find. EX. Like Bass Jigs, spinnerbaits, Buzzbaits (Most Of them)

don't have a barbless version. If there is A barbless jig, spinnerbait, buzzbait Please Reply and tell me which one. thx!:D

Sure is, just take a pair of pliers or file to eliminate the barb. Buy any lure available and make it like you want.

I fish with barbless hooks and don't purchase barbless hooks. I have the manual dexterity to make them that way.

Every lure ever made with a hook is easily made barbless with a pair of pliers to pinch down the barb. 

I have been crunching down my barbs for years now and do not lose a fish because of it.  It sure is easy to remove the hook from a deep hooked fish with no bleeding.  I use a Baker hook removal tool.  I leave treble hooks, spinner bait hooks and chatterbait hooks alone.

I've ruined plenty of barbs on accident trying to bend out my hollow body frog hooks so I can attest to it being easy

Every lure in my box has the barb crushed down. I don't specifically look for barbless lures, I make them.
