Get what you need for awhile, things like hooks, specialty lips and .373 belly gromets sell out and take for ever to restock...

I just bought $167 worth( mostly hooks) of merchanise ( supplies) from stamina, $133 from NJ tackle and $123 from M&D's mainly to have stock since they all run out of popular stuff as the season gets on..

[smulax]

I did that last time and ordered the most of everything I needed, but am running out slowly. maily siwash hooks. stamina you say. I will check them out tonight. only problem is I heard their shipping is slow.

[Roccus]

I've always found them to be slow, but if you think ahead, it's not a problem, late winter seems to be the worse, but, they have good prices and stuff you cant find anywhere else....

I found for airbrush supplies that tcpglobal is a decent company to deal with. They have most of the supplies, brushes, paints, accessories and more than you can use or think of.
