I am just getting into tying and ordered some no collar heads already painted and now I need body and tail meterial, I was wondering if somebody could tell me some reputable websites to order from.
The only one I know of is cabellas and they dont have a huge sellection of colors.
I found a site called crazieangler and was wondering if anybody has purchased from them?
Any help is apreciated, thanks in advance.
You can't beat crazy. He is a member here, and almost everyone buys from him. Greatest selection and price you will find.
Yes Crazy Angler Tackle is a great place to oder jig tying materials!!
Thanks thats great news, he has some really nice looking stuff.
I tie flies. I have found hobby craft stores a good source for synthetic hair, some feathers, and chinelle, eyes, some glues, epoxy, your imagination is the only limit when tying lures/ flies.
Crazy Angler is where I order from. My last order was in the mailbox 2 days after I placed the order. He's got my business for sure!
x2, He has great materials and the service can't be beat.Quote:

I placed an order from Bob Marriots website (first time) the costumer service is really friendly. The chenille prices and selection is great. There is another site I found with good prices also its called Angler's Workshop - Fishing Rods, Reels, Rod Building and Fly Tying I have not ordered from them yet but I may give it a try. I also look for in a company for fair prices and reasonable shipping rates so as you check places out look at the shipping rates.
Thanks for all the suggestions, looks like I will deffinately be making and order this weekend at crazyangler.
If you have a tax permit Wapsi Fly in Mountain Home Arkansas is good for about anything you want. Short's Hook Sales also in Arkansas is about as good as it gets for hooks generally speaking.
Takes a lot more than a tax permit, you have to have a bricks and mortar store front selling fly tying materials or you can't buy from them. Beleve me I know they will not let any tyer buy from them even a commercial tyer like me.Quote:

I buy about 90% of my stuff from E Bay. If you shop you can get name brand material with free shipping. So far I have been able to get every thing there. Some of the people that sell have full retail stores so you can get a wide variety of material.
Before going off the site and ordering stuff check with us guys that support site and keep it going. As for material and heads, There is Tim at TNT, Robert (flatfish46) at crazy anglers, and me I pour alot of the jigheads for guys on here I have poured just at about 30,000 heads in the last 1-1/2 mths for these guys. Also there is a few more on here also..But just give us guys that sponsor the site a chance before going else where...
I do not know who that comment was for but I am new on this site and do not know who sell what, I have seen other off site vendors mentioned many times and there was no comment telling them to shop here first. The one thing that needs to be done is for people to give links. I have seen people recommending Crazy, why didn't they give a link. New people in here have a hard enough time getting up to speed without having to do time wasting research. I did not know that selling in here was allowed, most sites it is not. Also I did not know what a sponsor was nor how to do it. All of this information should be in a sticky for the new member.
That is a good point tosser. A sponsor page with their links would be a nice addition.
Pbug, you might want to run that idea up the pole and see if it gets any traction.
Crazy Angler Your here look no more for Slab Bandits the best is his site
If you look on our posts by our name it says crappie.com supporter and member sponsor. And at the bottom of our posts its underlined the links to our websites..
Hey Jigtosser to help you out a little go to the top of the page and click the heading for businessess then click the page for Fishing Gear .This is where members of Crappie.com have fishing items for sale. Below is the link of the same page and Welcome to Crappie.com from Northern Indiana. Good fishing to ya in 2011!!
Crappie.com Business Directory - Fishing Gear
I have spent the last couple of hours going through the tabs and accidentally found the list of suppliers. I think one of the confusing things to new people is that on the sticky section of this forum is this.
http://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-t...t-cabelas.html
I do not think that anyone would purposely offend the forum vendors, i may start selling supplies here myself. I do not want to jump to conclusions but some statements may indicate double standards.
PBug2009 thanks for the info. I have seen that and wondered what it meant and also wondered what the all the info was beside the aviator. Again it takes time to learn all the features of this forum.
no problem at all just message me or ask people will help you out...We all had to learn
I guess this is a good place to put this post. I just became a sponsor. The tab at the top says MEMBERSHIP, I became a member when I joined. If the tab had said HOW TO BECOME A SPONSOR or SPONSOR INFO I would have checked it out. The tab that says business meant to me that JNC or Bass Pro or others had there links in there. If it had said MEMBERS STORES I would have went there first. I was going through there and when I clicked on one of the stores links I was taken to E Bay. Last it would be nice if there was a way for each members store to have a short list of what they sell listed in their little box. If you want a vise you have to go on a hunt. These are what I see and do not mean to criticize and willing to help working on changes if that is needed. I looked at this forum for a long time before I became a member and the deciding factor way how nice the people seem to be and are not critical to the other members. I am willing to help this forum in any way. Thanks to you all.
Crazy Angler has the fastes shipping I have ever seen. As for materials he has a great selection from wapsi and his large bucktails are just that large bucktails. His powder paint is good also, I have ordered from him several times with no complaints what so ever. Crazy Angler Your here look no more for Slab Bandits the best if you give him your business I dont think you would be sorry. I also like his cactus chenilles. Last order I made I called him to ask if I placed it that morning and that was on a wed. if I went with the two day shipping would I have it by friday and he said yes well friday came and there it was, that night I was able to tye with the stuff I needed and was able to supply some buddies with the jigs they needed for a trip they took.
I have tried to buy from them in the past I did not have any luck. I even sent them references from other companies, but they did not pay it any mind. If you do not have a tax or a federal excise tax number, forget it. They won't even talk to you . You are exactly right. Skip on this one.Quote:

Welcome from Middle Tennessee, and we're looking forward to your first jigs. Doesn't take much to get off the ground, and then it's allover but the buying. Of more materials. Start hunting a desk with lots of drawers, you're gonna need it.
