Incredible operation with a huge following in Europe and US.. Chris W can get you JM products, if you know the Synit team they seem to supply blanks to friends but not others.
While Greg at Gofish has less blanks available these days he has most other things. He always seems to have jig blanks and is a great guy to get advice from.
You can also buy retail from RA Conaghan in the city for all fuji products, flexcoat, gudebrod and some tools.
Haven't used Rodworks in Tga but I know the guys at Reel Rods up north will supply retail as well.
Ross at The Rodworks in Aust is great and offers a real personalised service. Aussie dollar cross not good for buying there at the mo.
Acidrod in US has similar service.
Mudhole cover almost everything but they will piss you off at some stage.
There is always value in combining orders to the US so if anyone is keen....
also Shofftackle.com are pretty good - cheaper FUJI guides than Mudhole - and they sell them as sets too - saves dicking around selecting all the sizes. Skip is pretty good to deal with - altough he is more a a fly fishing guy.... Stu |
