I'd be curious to know how many jig makers make their hooks barbless. Let us know.

Just the opposite.

On most of my personal jigs, I have switched to a hook with a bigger barb.

No. If you're not doing catch and release, what would be the benefit?

No sir, mine stay open... But if I were fishing water that required it, I would not have a problem with it.
