New Steel on Owner 5304's ?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, maybe I did not hear about this and it's old news, but have any of you seen the new steel, Owner is using on the 5304 Deep Throat Jig hooks?  

I received some 5/0 from Barlows, and instead of the standard Black Steel they have always used, these were a shinier Black Nickle.

We just noticed this change, too. As far as we know, Owner hasn't released anything about an official product change, so it could just be a normal variation, or they may have changed how they're treating the hooks. We typically see this kind of color variation with other manufacturers, but less so with Owner.

I have been putting the 5304 and 5313's in my jigs for about 20 years, in many of the sizes.  This is the first time I have received any of these Black Chrome style. I'm not complaining, I like it.  The finish will probably hold up longer.  I just didn't now if that was how they are all going to be, moving forward and the old stock has to sell out first, or what.
