Strapped for cash!

#1 Post by iasccarra »

Hello all, just wondering where one could buy swivels,crimps,hooks, etc. I am hoping to buy quiet a large quantity. here in cork there is a few good shops although ( not very competitive ). So if anybody has a decent shop in mind; in this euro-zone I would appreciate the information. thanks

Hiya Tomas, Hope your still getting on alright with that supermag. The best place for buying those kind of things in bulk is Ebay to be honest. 100 black aberdeens for 3 or 4 quid from seller Steclowe, bulk swivels and links etc also available. The hooks, for the price are of very decent quality, not at all far removed from the Kamasan B940s you should be able to pick up 500 in assorted sizes from size 2 to 3/0 for about €25 or so. HTH.
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial :D

i can second that. got 800 black aberdeen style hooks 100 of each size from 2 to 6/0 for £19.99. there perfectly sharp and do the job for a fraction of the price i would have paid in the shops. :D
