  1. I tried the 570's I have and they worked ok. They just didn't sit perfectly straight.
  2. Well maybe you shouldn't accept a special order if you don't have the ability to fill that order. Just sounds like common sense to me. I don't need a bunch of post to know that it is common sense not to promise if you can't keep tht promise. You are just passing blame for your lack of common sense. If all you can do is complain about Barlow's shipping then why do you order from Barlow's? Find another source or make your merchandise with probucts you can purchase elsewhere...again common sense. Also, if I had the hooks you needed I would not sell them to your. You would probably try to pass some other blame on to me like if they didn't atch fish.
  3. Sound to me like you should be mad at yourself for not having the hooks on hand to build the lures you guarantee. Doesn't sound like Barlow's fault at all...I don't believe they guarantee a delivery date.
  4. If you ever want to know if a hook will fit a specific mold all you have to do is call Barlow's, give them the mold number and the hook stock number and they will try them in the mold for you. I have done this many times.
  5. Barlow's just started sell the 60 degree Sohumi again. http://www.barlowstackle.com/Sohumi-114-Jig-Hook-Size-40-P2507C242.aspx
  6. I know I am dredging up an old post but what Sohumi hook are you looking for?
  7. Something else to consider. Each and every gallon of plastic is different. I say gallon because that is how I get it. One gallon may be from the start of the tank and another from the end. The manufacturing companies usually do not stir / mix the tank as they empty it during the pour so the different chemicals begin to separate out. Usually if you get some from the beginning of the tank it will be a harder because the solids (including the hardener) are heavier than the plastisol itself. The middle to the end of the tank will usually be softer because the hardener settled out and was removed at the beginning of the batch. The very end of the batch is usually very hard because all of the hardener that had settled around the edges or back of the tank ( called the end sludge ) oozes out with the remaining bit of plastisol. There is no way to know what you are getting when you purchase your plastic. Also, what you mix with the plastic makes a difference. Different colors are made from different chemicals and react differently with the plastic. Salt and scents change it even more. It is a guessing game with no real answer. It takes a chemist to figure it out and even then there is still alot of guesswork in it. My 2 cents. J
