GB GONE Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Desperate plea here guys:( .... Stamina is out for a while on the container boxes and I am in need of 200-500 quick. I use the 5 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 boxes. Anybody have any suggestions?? Guess I will order 2000 when I get my samples in from the several companies out there....

earthworm77 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Try Hagens. I have a bunch of 7X2.5"s, they are quite large. But if you need 'em...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks Craig... Placon is who Stamina gets there packaging from so I am going to go there. Much cheaper but you have to order 600 minimum. Might even go for a custom clamshell.... Guess my 500 pack order will have to wait a few extra days!!!!

GB GONE Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 PS Placon has other companies they work with and can refer you to for product. One happens to be in TN and can get me what I am looking for!! Yeah!!!! No website ordering though. I will post the info once I talk with a rep at the company as the prices they quoted me are very, very, very GOOD!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 OK guys....don't overwhelm the folks as they only keep about 2-3 cases on hand and minimum is 1 case (600). The containers that Stamina carries (the 5 1/4 X 1 1/2 x 1 1/4) are only .15 each (Stamina charges .44 each) or $90/case with this company! Even going directly to www.placon.com the case was $153. Not sure why yet??? My contact is Laura @ 800-274-4885. Please tell her Jim @ Ghost Baits referred you as they will have a better idea of what you are looking for then. They also carry many other sizes in stock and ready to ship vs the 48-72 hour wait prior to ship. Out of adversity comes learning (and some great savings!!!) Jim PS the stock number for those containers is R557. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampBaits Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 When did you order from stamina Jim? I ordered 100 last Tuesday and they were delivered last friday!! Same size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thanks Jim, I was on the phone with Placon this morning and ordered a R557 sample to match against my clamshell from Basstrix. I'm using one from Andex now and its too narrow at the bottom. I'll call them tomorrow. Interesting that the 5000 count at Placon is 15 cents per and these folks are selling a case count (600) for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Ordered from Stamina last Thursday... Lucky me they were out!!! Saved .29 per container!!!! That goes a loooong way to the bottom line!! I too tried the Andex containers Mike. I have 750 that I am going to sell soon. They would be good for a shorter bait or a hard bait but just a tad to narrow on the end as you stated!! Now.... EYES!!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of manufacturers don't compete with their distributors so you pay more ordering direct. Look at lurenet.com as an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB GONE Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Must have been everyone after me.....Last time I called to order, Laura said she had many customers call and even one from Canada (Mike I presume).... Oh yeah....I told her if a guy named Tim called in to charge a little extra as he was making good bucks off his swims!!! Plus they have to figure in my commission!!!!!!

Bountiful Waters Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 The R557 went up in price, but still is only $126 per 600. I ordered their last case, but I am sure they will restock in the next week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
