Whitto, wish it was that simple mate. Theres a lot of poiltics in tackle stores/buying groups.
Alot of the little guys (independent tackle stores) miss out on good stuff because of surrounding tackle stores buying power.
In short, it sucks.
Foxie has a fine store down there with lots of good gear, but Im quite sure the only stiffys in there are the ones from wide eyed travellers once they see the range.
Cheers
Jas

Good Mates....Good Food.....Good Fishing....Priceless
Chris,
As you know I flog my stiffy all day long at Tinaroo and the surface wears off around where the hooks hit the lure. I don't find that it makes any difference, although I like to see my lure flash about all nice and new, which is more so I can see it when it gets smashed by a big brute..
Cheers
Matt
P.s Have fun with this one..
Thanks to all. I will ring around the tackle shops to find out who stocks them. Bazz
BCF have them Baz or if you shop online the big online tackle store from coffs harbour (M O)has them for a good $4.00 less than BCF. they are listed under "Bushy's" in the harbody section.
Cheers Roo.
Thanks roo.
I will try and find the email address of the one in coffs harbour as i do not like BCF and do not like to suport them any more. I rang around most of the others and they will take a order for them but most dont stock them as i was told not enough sales. The only shop that has them was Tackle Warehouse.
Thanks Bazz
Try googling it. they are an online store.
Hey Jas,
You are right the tackle industry can be very poilticial and some companies do not supply independent stores as they only want there product in a certain amount of outlets this way there is less competition. But there product is not the be all and end all an there is plenty of other good stuff that smaller specialist shops can get hold on to that bigger shops don't have.
No stiffy's here just heaps of horny toads
Cheers Foxie
Always Think Like A Fish - No Matter How Weird It Gets
Nothing wrong with a sinking stiffy Roo!!! just got to use it right!! Better in the deeper water come summer I reckon.....I use my finger to apply s factor to the boney bream lure!!! and other lures too....My stiffy doesnt get all the attention you know!!!!! other lures are still in my favourites catagory. Different lures, diferent applications, different times....you know 'think outside the square' and all that..look at horny toads!! 1 year ago.....who honestly would have owned a pack...and used them????

Yes foxie your right the big stores seem to get want. But i try to buy most of my gear from the smaller independent stores like yours. When i came up your store after talking to you by phone, i bought most of my barra lures a rod, reel ,line, trace from your shop you gave to me the best info i could get. I used this info and caught my first barra (107cm) thanks heep's long live the independents. Bazz
