I have used Jescar forever, but am currently unhappy with their barbs, as in not much there. I am looking into another Mfg. "Polymet". Does anyone have personal experience with their wire, and are the barbs well shaped and prominent? |

I have been using Jescar for awhile and I like it. But it is from a coil I bought 8-10 years ago. Has the quality changed? |

Yes there are plenty of barbs, but on this last roll they don't stick out very far from the tang. |

Have you contacted Jescar to see if they would like to examine a piece of the wire? |

No. Maybe I'll ask them who makes a wire with better barbs. I think I'll just order a bit from another supplier. |
