Ole NAFC! Yes I remember them days. joined for 4 years also with that dream that I would be testing big Items in time. First they lured me in with the $12 membership and testing. I get my first $ 2 test product that year just befor its over. I re-up and after 11 months for $15 and I get my $4 test product . Now they want $15 a year + send me a letter every 3 months begging me two be a Lifer for $$$'s .I don't sign on and they send me a deal to go 2 years for $22. Now that a deal or what ? so I go 18 months till I got my next test product ($5 value). Now they want a RE-UP for $15 . Now I'm thinking ! What did I get for 4 years and $49 > A nice use of a bulletin board. the best Bulletin board I ever read . Found more people near me fishing the same water then any site. BUT! this site "NAFC " was the only one costing me and nothing in return. Some tackle testing! More like support the LIFER ADVERTIZING every 3 months by mail. Oh they had a quarterly magizine (70% advertizements) .

CJBW I sent you mail

Basicly I go by the shipping charges because that can make it or break it ( cheapest) and at so much its free shipping no tax. Most venders have the same thing but ask for min. shipping charge. I can name a dozen good mail order companies (retail or wholesale). I was making wood lures but have dropped out of the race because I don't bulk buy anymore. You name the product and I can find it at low cost. Anyway ! if you want the mailing addresses I'd be glad to list them.

Your toughest job will be plastics. I make my own wood lures and you can change them over night. The trick is to buy a airbrush (low end models spray wide and top end spray thin and cost a $. The clearcoat finish works best for all my painting. I use the chip proof jig paint clear coat by components systems. You will see the clear coat bottles at locations that sell jig paint. If you plan on painting lures with a air brush in the future > check out www.smithpaints.com they specialize in airbrush paint and low cost. The clearcoat is hand brushed on and the trick to pianting is to use lite coats each time. I got my el cheapo airbrush from Harbour frieght and my mini air compressor and it works great. My lures are used in heavy cover and rip-rap so they will take a beating but better than the local shop lures. There is many suppliers out on the net besides Jan's. DOZENS! but watch the shipping cost.
