Most of the usual retailers that carried anything even remotely like this have just about dried up.Thanks for the plug. And thanks for the heads up on availability. I suspect MY prices may soon reflect a demand vs. availability increase. You know how us drug dealers operate...first get ya hooked and then bump the price.
As a large majority of fishing tackle of every type was made in China, it isn't coming in as it once was. I've been online looking for numerous items from bass casting weights, circle hooks, swivels, snaps, even a new seat for my boat , and though these items are out there to be found, it does take some dedicated searching.
TD's fligs have always been fish catchers, and he has always priced them more than fairly, even "cheap" some say.
Better get your orders in before the prices go up. You know, supply and demand............

Depending on the audience we could get into some advanced design and rigging with some of your spinner blade setups or other twists on the flig. I also really liked it when the Fligging Masters (IE the wiper wonder twins) gave the setup and methods addendum - maybe we could get a few volunteers to talk methods (Maybe BLK, Paul, or John) would show off their tricks to a 33"s cat) . Or a twist on the fun and maybe our koke masters could talk trolling. I know I would love to pick their brains for a bit. If we can pull it off with COVID constraints, I have a better building (with real heat this time) and just for Rocky I will do lamb chops with a raspberry sauceThanks Lance. Generous of you to offer the use of your new digs...and I know we would all like to see them. Only thought I have is that there are interested parties both north and south of Salt Lake. It would probably be more fair to everybody if we could find a venue somewhere in the middle. Not absolutely necessary, but possibly.
If there is interest, we could maybe target a November ish time frame. I fully plan on getting out of house health arrest in Sept/Oct and making up some time on the water, before I settle in to lure making mode.
Maybe by then I will have caught something with my pugly perch bugs and can brag while I cook.
Also, if we try to limit the time to 2 hours or less it might be better to divide it into two meetings. One for the how-to of making the different types. The second could be devoted to the science of colors, rigging, baits, presentations, etc. And there are quite a few experienced fliggers in our crowd who could contribute useful info. With that in mind, we could either have two separate meetings...or one long session on a Saturday. Say two hours in the late morning...lunch...and then two more hours after lunch. Any thoughts or ideas?
Waiting with bait on my breath...or however that goes...to see how your new creations work out. They look good to me, but I don't count. Also like to hear how you like the hangershot rigs.
