Lol.... I'm away fishing. For word that a package had arrived for me. Ordered March 31... Talked to him twice and both times he told me he was having problems with moulds and being backordered. Almost 2 months first and last for me.

Now would be the time to order your Christmas presents from him for your fly tying buds. Just sayin, I do a lot of tying between Christmas and New Years.
Some people call me smartie pants, other just think I'm a smart donkey! Hew Haw!

you can always order from Tim White (TNT Tackle) always had good service from him.

I placed a substantial order back in April. He told me on the phone that i had ordered chenille's that weren't in stock and it took at least 3 weeks for him to get them. He commented about how far behind he was in filling orders for jig heads. He had several orders for thousands of heads. Because of the very long very cold winter he was having to pour the jigs by hand with doit molds rather than the casting machine. And it was taking quite a while.

I found Bob to be very courteous, willing to talk an hour if you'd let him and honest. I cant imagine he makes much money on the prices he charges. He talked like he would send a partial order if requested. I cant imagine he could without charging extra shipping and I wasn't in any hurry. Took about a month to get my order. For the prices I paid and the wide selection I'm happy. He is busy and adding new products "929 new products". There are a lot of places to get your stuff in a week. You may pay 2-4 times as much with higher shipping. I figure I can put a large order together and save half what it cost to get it else where or have to order from several suppliers to get all I'm interested in so I don't mind waiting longer. Its not like anyone has been shammed.

Timmy Tom on Arkansas board sells jig heads at $7.70 per hundred. Haven't purchased any from him yet but he can't be worse than Bob. At least a faster turn around for jig heads.
