Re: [VFB] light tackle and a question of ethics

[Ross Rixon]

Still from across the pond have to come out of hibernation to comment on this one.   Have a real crisis of conscience on the subject of fluorocarbons.  On the one hand Keith has a point but on the other the lack of degradability in fluorocarbons concerns me.  For those perfect beings who never leave leader in trees this may not be an issue but .............   And while on the subject of ethics would be interested to hear some input on the subject of barbless hooks.  Went to a Charles Jardine workshop the other day and gather from him that the latest research seems to indicate we may want to throw away our barbless hooks in favour of micro barbs.   Ross
