Best place to bulk buy swivels,crimps,beads

[Sparkie]

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 http://cgi.ebay.ie/SAKUMA-MANTA-540-EXT ... 5856wt_905

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

[roger de dodger]

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

[kingbass]

try ebay.ie cant go wrong

[Al and Jordan]

if it's bulk buy's by the 500 or 1000. ebay is great. just stick to brands you know as there is a lot of cheap chinese muck on the go. i got landed with 100 3 way swivels last year that had a breaking strain of 90lb. funny thing was that when i got em snagged, quite often the swivel would break before the 30lb snood length like i said. cheap chinese muck

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!

[dbrock]

im using stren alto for snoods finding amnesia stretches to much on clipped rigs on cast,s

[JOHN1]

Only ever used it, ain't had any prob's! But willing to listen to advice on other lines, if it's deff as good or better then I will see about buying some!
