J2 235 Heavy 3X Long Nymph Hook

Good old j2 hooks. Just wish they had barbless offerings. When you know you are going to lose a lot of deep bugger/streamers it seems crazy to spend a lot of money on them. I have yet to have one bend on a trout and there have been plenty of wild 20 plus inches. I've bought 1000's of j2 hooks and bet I haven't had a dozen clinkers.

Strong hook

I use these 3x nymph hooks for larger nymphs and for some streamers. They are strong and moderately heavy, which works great for me. It would help a great deal if they came in a barbless version though. I have to mash down the barb on every single hook before tying. Shouldn't we be fishing only barbless hooks anyway?
