[cool][#0000ff]Some things, like the vinyl jig enamel, are available from several sources. However, it pays to make notes of the prices of the various items you buy most because some sources can be much higher/lower than others. There is NOT any single universal source of all the goodies I use, and the prices and service do vary. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Here's a basic rundown of the sources I use for most of my "stuff":[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Cabelas...bulk Colorado blades for Roadrunners, 4 oz. size jig enamel and several types of hooks. Also wire, some lure bodies and various feathers and other fly tying goodies.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Lurecraft...a new source for glitters and paints, at reasonable prices.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Janns...lots of lure parts, fly tying materials, rod building components, etc.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Barlows...The only source for the transparent metallic jig enamel paints. Also one of the best sources for glitter. Also a good source for jig molds and many different kinds of hooks.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Bass Pro Shop...very little anymore.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Stamina...another new source for various lure making stuff. Good for swivels and split rings. Good prices on paints.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Rustic Escentuals...A candle making supply outlet that sells a line of shimmer dust (glitter) in colors not available anywhere else. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Those are the basics. I often buy something from a supplier which might have a slightly higher price, only because I need to order something else from them and don't want to wait to order from my regular source. With shipping costs and delays you sometimes have to make concessions.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Let me know if you are not familiar with any of those or if you need website links.[/#0000ff]
