As long as you keep pressure on, barbless work great.
Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

Thanks, I don't have a need to keep anything over 4 or 5 LB and getting the hook out with ease to the fish is a factor in my asking.

Give it a try, If you lose a bunch of fish, give it up. A good mouth spreader and a pair of needle nose pliers works for me on channels.
