cadman Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Can you guys tell me if there is any difference in the quality of the premium smooth willow blades, that Stamina or Barlow's sells. I know there is a price difference. How is the quality of both? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think it may have to do with the quailty of the plating and the polish process I think. Also the metal they use may have something to do with it. Have you checked with Jann's yet they seem to be a little cheaper then Barlow's on some stuff.

Spike-A-Pike Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 cadman, Hagen's has their Willowleaf Pro Spin Series blades that look nice; they use a marine grade brass as the base material in nickel, 24 karat gold plate, and genuine silver plate. Sizes 3, 3 1/2, 4, & 4 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Ted, I have blades from Hagen's. Colorado in Silver & Gold. Indiana in Silver and Willow Blades in Silver. All blades are Pro (Premium) models. If you want , I can ship some samples for you. Just let me know.

JBlaze Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have never used stamina or jann's blades but I have used Barlow's premium and Worth's blades and IMHO, I dont think you can get a better blade . the finish is second to none and the edges are very smooth on both of them.
