Englunds TUNA! order .. by 12/12/2003 1200

[Pilar]

Ok, are we going to get in on the order?

What do you need and how many?

12 needle eye hooks and a 28' boat. D'oh I haven't got the money for the boat. How soon do you need the money? What size needle eye hook do I need for a cedar plug?

Hey John, what kind of price will Dean quote you on TC 200 clones, if we get them (same color) by the dozen?

Keta .... that 3412 plug hook is a 10/0. Only size they come in (that's what I was told when I asked about an 8/0). Plug makers like SeaStriker use the same hook for both the 4 inch and 6 inch.

John - Will you please pick-up (12) of the double, barbless, stainless hooks, I think they were about 10/0 -- same as last year. Also I will take a full box of needle eye hooks in 9/0 or 10/0 if the price is $34.00. If the price is $79.00/100 the 50 will due. Many thanks for you effort - beer or gas money take your pick.

Rapalas .. Dean will look into ordering some and I'll get the price info. There are many colors so we should know that before the order.

TCF200 are sold by the bag of 10, all the same color in a bag for $52. The TCF100 are sold the same way for a little less a bag.

Just a note about repalas. I have fished them for over seven years now and have found that after a hit or two they do not run true and are very hard to tweek back to run true. A far better lure is the Yo-zuri hydro magnums. They track true after three seasons hungry TUNA hits. I will never buy a rapala again. In fact I'm selling my new ones in box on e-bay next month.Another tip which is the smaller sizes come with treble hooks which I change out to small 4/o or 5/o double s/s tuna hooks which are hard to find but are avaliable from good tuna tackle stores such as Hi's tackle in San Francisco.These lures track deep and produce fish late season as well.

Just a suggestion, but Englands will ship it to you for way less than the gas to go there. You could have it by next week if they have it. If you're order is big enough and you're not getting any discounts (which you should ask for), they will probably ship it for free to each of you guys.

[Aqua-Holic]

I don't want to be difficult or throw a monkey wrench in the process....however there is a place that sells Sevenstrand TC's (2.5 oz 6 inch) for $4.27 plus shipping. They also have some of the other Tuna tackle mentioned in this thread. I can get more info on quanity discounts etc, if anyone is interested.

[Mr. Fisherman]

No problemo Johnboy. I already have my supply of 20/0 circles

I am stocked and ready. I would like a box or needle eye hooks...
