    Default VMC Barbarian jig hooks

    VMC CATALOGUE - Barbarian Hooks



    Anyone every try these for making jigs? I think we need to bend the ear of the company and have them make them in a smaller size, at least down to a size 8. I have always liked VMC and they have very sharp hooks so maybe it will be a good alternative to the sometimes cheap quality of the sickle hook.

    What does everyone else think?

    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    Size is the only reason I have not tried them and until they change that I have no use for them.

    Well let's get 20-30 members to email them and ask for smaller sizes. I have already asked if they make them or will consider it. I even threw in that the quality would make me buy them before buying Sickle hooks, maybe that will get their attention.

    Wouldn't be surprised if minimum turns out to be 100,000 in order to do it.
