I used to however the hooks I have been using have seen zero break. Some cheaper steel hooks are more brittle and will break. Also I use my forceps to pinch on the water. Maybe that helps.
Plus sometimes I like to have a barb when the fish keep getting off. Then you can at least get one to the surface to see what they are.
