[unsure] In lot's of waters you must flatten the barb.
I had trouble breaking the little pointy end of the hook off when I tried to flatten the barbs.
I used two different types of Pliars, and the smash flat with the blade of a pocket knife method as well.
Both would occasionally snap the end of the Hook off.
How do you guys flatten the barb after the fly is tied?[crazy]
