    Default Searching for material in China.


    China was very fun and very wonderful we were in a remote part of China on the southern border they were having a local market sale is they do one day a week so we decided to venture to the market to see what there was I come across a bunch of thread about the size of 300 there were eight individual roles because they were not on a regular thread spools in the cost of eight of these per packet one dollar soul like I was figuring I would find them cheaper on my adventures but I never did so I'm sitting here kicking myself for not buying a ton of this stuff by the way it was nightlong very strong also we found a lot of animal hair but of course you cannot bring anything like that back through the US they will confiscate it and you may be penalized or find but my mouth was definitely watering over some of the stuff that I did see these animals were unusual and I have never seen anything like it before the course there were some that were gray fox in something like a spotted dog may be similar to a dingo but not as large but I definitely wanted to get some course I could not my guide told me that you may go to jail for a day or two and a $10,000 fine so I wasn't going to risk any of that here is a picture of the thread I did buy we have a dear friend in China that I sent a email to to locate more of it if they can find it we will definitely buy $50 or more of the thread.

    Looks like you did find a bargain on the thread though.

    I can see it now.

    A dark, damp, moist, holding sale at customs.... You are "roomed" with a large unsavory looking fellow with a large scare across his neck. He turns and ask "What are you in for?" You reply, "For buying crappie jig making supplies." LOL


    Glad you made it back safely.

    Dang looks nice and love that color. Wish I had been in your pocket to get some. Looks like a good thing to build up a fly body faster!

    yes I did find a bargain but I didn't take advantage of things I wish I would've bought a ton of it they countered in about 10 different colors I do not know how much is on each spools but I would imagine over 100 yards I'm guessing and how are things going for you and did you get your website going.

    skip be watching your mailbox I just sent you a spool of that stuff. I can sure kick myself in the rear end for not taking advantage I was thinking that I would get more of it cheaper but of course I did not find it after I left that village you guys would've loved it you deftly couldn't buy anything in the world including live chickens and whatever else that you can think of even with four legs.

    Things are going well but slow. The web designer is taking a little longer than I had hoped for, but that is life. We have gotten a couple of orders off of facebook. Not near what I would like but I realize that it is the slow time of the year and we are new.
