I use Mustad for most of my tying but I also use Grip which I like very much. Gripe has some cool looking barbless hooks.
when you say you heard they were too much, I don't think the cabelas are out of line for what they are.
That said I bought a 50 pack of barb less mustad dry fly hooks yesterday. they are about $6 at Hook and Hackle they appear to be consistent and are very sharp, If the second box of these I buy is the same I won't be buying any other hook for basic fly hooks. non barbed and sharp and economical, what more can you ask for in a trout hook.

I use what ever hook best fit's the pattern I want to tie. If I want it to be barbless , just a quick pinch with the bench plier's and a touch of the rattail file and it's just as barbless as any other hook. Just my 2 cent's.
Many of you may have seen this, but this is about as good as it gets for a reason to ONLY use barbless and ALWAYS wear eye protection.
