I always call in my oders...Janns can tell you immediatley (via there computer system) if things are in stock Stamina will phyically check stock if you asked them too..(and I do!) there computer system won't tell them on stock.. Barlows can't tell you via computer and they won't check on stock. I've probably orderd from Barlows 10 times and I think 1 time everything shipped..Nathan

Hey guys...as Gene said,this is a real informal gathering...with a whole lot of lure building knowledge flowing from everywhere.
