Bits and Bobs

[Stephen Hastie]

can any one tell me where to obtain bits and bobs for making lures, ie: spinner spoons refective tape red tags and hook eyes that screw into the wooden lure. Have tried harris but they do not have much.

I've no first hand experience of ordering from them but they have a very extensive catalogue.

I've bought loads of stuff off him, seriously cheap (spoon blanks half price of Harris..), does good prices on Eagle Claw hooks, split rings etc...

 

[Budgie Burgess]

Mark,do they have a website?

 

[mark knowles]

Don't know,I rang up for a catalogue and it promptly arrived,never did get round to ordering anything though.Chris Bishop seems to be a better reference.

All you need & more. US company, good prices too. Usually waiting about two weeks for delivery, which isn't too bad.

Nick G's seriously cheap and the stuff's quite good - his spoon blanks are laquered, for example, small thing but they stay shiny a lot longer.

I've bought hooks (Eagle Claw - cheap as chips, though need a bit of sharpening...), split rings (er, what can you say about split rings...), rubber grubs/shads (same quality as everywhere else but loads cheaper...), other odds and sods.

He doesn't have a glossy catalogue or a snazzy website, which probably explains why the stuff doesn't cost the earth.
