[finga]

Gidday all,
What are some good sites from the US for buying rodbuilding gear like reel seats, thread and guides etc etc ??
I'm sure I've seen links here before and had a gander through some of the posts but alas, I can't find any links.
I'm wanting to buy and stock up on some stuff whilst the AU$ is up.
Cheers and ta
Scott

Hey Finga

Rice threads are just as good as Gubebold
Yea I agree why not get it in Aussie
MO Tackle have an excellent mail order

Mainly price.
Rice nylon threads 950 yards size A for US$3......450 yards size D for US$3
or the opaque threads size A the same price.
If they could go anywhere near those prices then I'd buy Aussie.

what do you need that you cannot get here in Aus??

yes, you can get it all here.... at a price.
spend $200 at mudhole & then work out what it costs to buy locally..

I've been using Acidrods ( C & M Custom Rod and tackle supplies ) from the US. Worked out the diff between them and MO. No comparison.

US stuff was here in 7days, $13 postage and no issues at all. price wise, way cheaper.

Then again, I recently bought a piece of gear from an Aussie rod building site that cost me $8.50 delivered. MO tackle didn't have it in their online catalogue, but it would have been about $5.00 delivered. Maybe I need to get a hard copy from MO ?

I ordered 30 coloured grips from the states today and cost me roughly AU$3.50 a grip plus freight so it was like the budgie.....cheap. Plus I got surgical tubing, a few tools etc etc so worked out ok. I prefer to shop locally when I can, but even my biggest suppliers here didn't have the colours I needed so had to go offshore.
Cheers,

Geez Guys,
All I can say is I wouldn't want to be going to war with some of you. What about supporting Australian retailers?

Last time i checked going to war and buying fishing rod building equipment were 2 vastly different things
