I do not fish barbless and neither do I know anyone that does so on my home waters. But after reading this I might have to give it a go...

Has anyone been to NZ recently and experienced this? I would like to make another trip there and this makes me think that I should go soon before it gets ruined completely... Or I should wait and not contribute more to the problem myself...

Sorry to interrupt in the discussion but I just saw this and had to do some calculations on it. I am not sure if it is correct to count the rod as a solid stick for transferring the torque but this is the result i got. I think Ill never be worried to break a rod like this again.
