Party Crasher Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Has anyone tried these Sohumi hooks that Barlows sells? Any feedback on the quality. They sure are reasonable! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I tried a thousand of the #8 black jig hooks and was not impressed with the quality control. Poured about 200 and almost one out of ten hooks was useless. VMC is like one out of 200/300. Don't know about the larger sizes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outcast Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I bought 50 each of the 3/0,4/0,and5/0 extralong shank hooks (5/0 still on backorder). Several of them were 'twisted' and others looked like they got caught in the machine and were pinched. The 'good' hooks work fine, but I will stick with the brands that I know, and use the rest of them for experiments. With my luck, I probably got all of the bad ones out of the way for the rest of ya'll. -outcast "Catch one for me" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
