PS.. the pink twirly jig I got from you last week delivered my first ice catch of the year.... 9.5" perch and a 7.5"er later on... What company do you buy most of your wire from? I need to pick up a little of that and some blades and such.. Thanks JeffThanks. Glad it's helpful. I get most of my supplies...hooks, paint, wire, beads, blades, etc. from BARLOWS.
Oh where is a good paint source as well? J
They have the most complete supply of almost everything I need...and usually at the best prices available. Costs have gone up in the last year and shipping is always at least $8.95 so it is wise to place a larger order to reduce the shipping cost per item. And I will be happy to offer suggestions on the beads and blades you might want to start getting. They ain't all the same. In fact, I might suggest you make another visit to my playroom before you put together any order. I can show you what I use and how I set everything up for maximum efficiency. In the meantime you can go online and get them to send you a free catalog. Then I can go through it with you and you can make notes.
I'm also attaching some info on painting, glittering and making eyes if that helps.
