The barbarian is by VMC and the smallest is like a 2/0. The matzuo sickle is great for crappie and kinda looks like the barbarian.

To answer your question, Capt Hooks warehouse has barbarians - but as said, they aint small ones.

Get the matzuos, but check each hook for sharpness & bend. I end up using about 95% what I buy and tossing the other 5% because of quality control issues. But really don't mind because the hooks that are good are quality & the price is right.

Save the 5% that are bad and send them back to Matzuo asking for replacement!!!!!!!!!!

Jigger - You MIGHT!!!! MIGHT!!!! get VMC to make that size if you ordered 500,000 plus!!!!!! email and ask them, they can only say no!!

Us panfisherman are the last to get the types of hooks we want but we're getting there!!!!!!

I know that they come in 2/0 thru 6/0. I think the wire would be to large to make a small crappie size hook. I would use the Matzuo Sickle or EC 570. imho:rolleyes:!
