Bulk order and split

I know a lot of use stuff we just don't need pounds of but want to get the best price. AZslabber brought up leg material and I have the site to order it by the pound unless someone has found a better price.

By all means, if someone can beat the price let us know.

I know I don't need pounds of the stuff but by the section is a lot more. Would anyone be interested in buying in bulk and then splitting it up? Not just the leg material, anything really that we know we want, want to save a few bucks but can't use the bulk amounts.

How many color do you want? Also how many people you thing about? I may have some interest as I am always looking for materials I can use. I would probably be in for some depending on how many colors and how much of it.

If you go to Wal-mart and pick up a box of assorted size round bungee cords , split them open , you've got a ton of live rubber...The smaller the cord , the smaller the rubber. Try it...i think you'll like it....While you are there ,pick up a spool of embroidry thread..think you will like it also..;)

Whatever we can get in a group. I don't need a ton of it but I want a lot of colors. 10-20 feet of each color would keep me going for a long time as I don't use a lot of it and there are 40 strands so there is a lot of tying material there.

This is kinda what I want to do, I figure that putting it on a jig would be easy enough and should make some interesting bugs with it.

I am open to any ideas. I contacted JJJ, Pbug told me they talked about it before so maybe we can get a better deal there. Last time I talked to living rubber they sold wholesale so who knows.

I have lots of bungee cords that I have stripped but I want flourescent colors too. They do make nice legs and I have done a little dabbling trying to make that fly with them without much luck. too stiff to wrap a lot of them in I guess.

I am going to try making some with Larva Lace to see if it works. that and they have colors that are transparent and that I have never seen in any rubber skirts.

I'm in.Let me know.

az your into everything lol..

I try,lol.

I would be interested in hearing more details. Silly leggs, chenille, feathers, crystal flash, ect...

i been wanting to make some rubber butt jigs also myself.but only got a few short mths to trout season start, then im slammed. trying to 12 colors. and have 100 of each tied for aqlittle head start on them...

I tie with silicone skirt tabs which are flat,the rubber in photo is round which I think would make a difference with what you want to tie,fish. CAT may be able to help,I'd give him a call. I'll look around,I've seen some on ebay in the past.

Who's CAT?

I have tried the flat sirt rubber with no luck, it won't stand up and doesn't give the nice gaps that the rounds does.

Of those that have said they want some, have you gone to the site and looked at the colors? How much of it would you want? There are 2 options, 15 feet or 1 pound which is 83 feet of the regular round rubber. There are alot of color options also. Remember, bulk is the cheapest way to go so we need poeple who want the same colors and type of material.

Skip, IF we can get this figured out would you be the inbetween?

Crazy Angler Tackle,lol

Any of those bungies got white rubber inside. might try a lure plastics dye on that. Since you don't really need much rubber.I finally got the last of mine used up. Now I'll use either fine LR round or silicone.

Where did you get that signature that's at the bottom of your posts? That's hilarious.

All that I've cut have been white . I would think lure dye should work..

Not all bungees are the same color and sometimes you can get luck with good colors and black should be easy to find.

I would share in this if we can agree on colors and how many would want to and like fish_for_all I would take 10-15 feet. I could use them in a good many ways.

It looks like it would take a good many people to split 83 feet each pound? Also are you looking at the Small, Med., or Large? I am about to order some foam bodies and they have packs of round barred rubber legs, but even wholesale it's not what I call cheap. I do what a bunch of them foam bodies though.

Skip, what kind of foam bodies you looking for? I made some a while back and have a bunch more I can make as I glued a lot of foam together and haven't used it all.

I haven't asked flatfish if he can get the round rubber legs but I will.

As for size, all I want is the regular round, I have enough smaller stuff from bungee cords to do antenae and fine legs in stuff.

You guys might want to check out this place too!!!!

FishingSkirts.com, Better Product Better Price they have some prety good prices.

Some are like your and some different shapes, bug shapes. Then I am also ordering some float round foam. I don't think I will go for the rubber at that place, but I may just get a few packs to play with.

I want some tube bodies too as they are really cool, like Mayfly Tube Bosiz, hoppers, Damsel/Dragonfly and maybe some caddis tube bodiz. They have a lot of bass popper bodies too, but not sure I want any of them right now. They are like 1/2" dia and about any mixed colors you want. I am just not into doing the poppers right now and have some wood poppers I still have not tied/painted.

I made an order with these guys about 1 1/2 years ago and when it came it was priced retail and I sent it back even though I had filled out and been accepted as a wholesale account. Well I sent all that stuff back and told them I just wouldn't do that. Got a call a couple months back and they didn't know why they had done that and they had never returned or credited my card so they owe me a little over $160. SO I am going to spend it on this stuff at wholesale and if any is left over then can just send me a check.

You have some nice looking foam bodies and I may actually want some, but first I got to do this where they owe me.

Thank you,
Skip

that would make a cool looking jig.

Okay, so who wants in on getting the rubber legs? I need a number of people and how much each of you want before I can figure out costs and the best way to get it.

I need the regular round stuff for trying to tie jigs like the fly I posted. Right now it is from Living rubber, I will contact CAT and see what he can get. If he can beat the prices it m ight be better for everyone to just order seperate although I am sure we can make things easier for him if we make a bulk order so he can save some money too if he can get the stuff we need.

I will be starting a new thread in a day or two to get this going. Hopefully we can get enough to make bulk ordering worth while.
