As the title says, I'm looking for the best place to bulk buy swivels,crimps,beads,hooks,line and the rest of the bits for making traces! I have been real lazy so far with traces since I got back into fishing, I have just been buying the pre made ones from the tackle shops!
Just looking to see what tackle shop in south Dublin is the best place to go on Saturday to buy up all the bits I need.
So it's time I spend a few hours making up decent rigs! Bring on the boredom after the 2nd rig is made

Southside do bulk packets of TRONIX Swivels 100 for 7.95. If you want the likes of Sakuma hooks & swivels in bulk e.bay would be better
EDIT
Iv used this lad before packs of 100 of Sakuma hooks looks like hes low on stock at the moment but hes very cheap for quality hooks

Ya should definatly take a trip to Viking in bray. Your not gonna see any real difference in prices when ya shop locally but the guys in Viking always look after ya as much as they can. And if they dont have what your lookin for, they'll try get it for ya

the tronix bulk packs are good quality i once bought swivels of ebay and they fell apart

prob seconds have had some good hooks off ebay but to be honest if your not buying mega bulk ie 500 or more a box of kamasans arnt that much more expensive again you add postage
crimps have to be the biggest rip off ever no mater where you buy them

try ebay.ie cant go wrong

I just want to make up 20-30 traces, so I can fish properly off the beach and stuff! I don't need to be buying 1000's of bits. Maybe bulk buying in 500's max. And line I'm sure for rigs should be cheap enough. Does anyone know where I can guy amnesia?

They dont show it on there website, and I've always found amnesia is by far the most superia line for traces!
Won't be making traces unless I can find it!
