Barbless hooks may reduce damage to minimal levels, this is not always the case when fishing for bigger species such as carp where a barbless hook often moves around in the mouth whilst the fish is being played causing damage to the carp's mouth, barbless hooks can reduce de-hooking time and greatly aid in catch and release. Many keen catch and release anglers use barbless hooks. Barbless hooks can be purchased, or created by crushing the barbs on a normal hook flat with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. It is popularly believed barbless hooks lead to more lost fish, but ensuring lures are equipped with split rings and keeping the line tight while fighting fish will reduce fish losses to levels similar to those of barbed hooks. Hooks known as "circle hooks" are also available to facilitate catch and release. The design of a circle hook is intended to cause less injury to the fish, allowing the fisherman to catch and release the fish without causing injury.
