Rico24 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi there, i'm new to TU, and i was just wondering where you guys buy your supplies to make wire baits? I am looking to make buzzbaits, but i have no clue where to buy the stuff from. I live in canada, so anything in canada would be better for shipping cost, but any website will do. Thanks a lot!

Spike-A-Pike Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have heard that depending on the size of the order when shipping from the US to Canada, that there is a Value Added Tax (V.A.T.) that made be added to your order by the Canadian government via the postal service. I don't for sure sure, but you may also get hit with the 10% US Federal Excise Tax. I'm not trying to change your mind; rather just open your eyes a little. You may want to see if other Canadian TU members can provide you with some additional information. Just a few mental munchies to chew on with a tall cold one...

Rico24 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Ouch..That's the only thing i dont like, shipping, taxes, all the added stuff, which brings the price higher. I see some prices are not expensive, but then i get hit with the shipping. thanks for that Spike-A-Pike! Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Re-read Jimbo's post about :-:-: Lure Making :-:-: The Official LureMaking.com Website | Tackle Components | Lure Components | Lure Making Information | Lure Making Supplies they are a Canadian company and they have a good selection of learning materials.

Rico24 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hey S-A-P, i did read it, i did check out stuff there, i had already found the site, but like i said, i have no clue how to order. Almost all the websites have a "Cart" This one does not, can you only order by filling out a form and send it by mail? Also, i did check out Welcome to Stamina Quality Components On-Line Store and i do like the prices, would cost me about 10$ to make 5 buzzbaits, (that includes the frames with weight and hook all prepared, the blades, the rivets, the beads and the skirts) I beleive that is a good price, considering on the Luremaking.com website, would cost me about 20$. That is true, they are a canadian company, located in ontario, which is a bonus, but ill keep checking around for the best prices. Thanks!

diemai Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 @ Spike-A-Pike Ordering stuff from Welcome to Moore's Lures for a few times , I could always deduct the US federal excise tax from my bill , no problems about it . OK , Canada is not overseas , but it is also an entirely different nation , so the US ministry of finance should not collect the tax either in this case , one should ask the seller before buying . greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papamark Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I buy most of my stuff from Lure Craft, Kim is great to deal with there, she makes sure that you get everyting you order and the only time I have had anything on back order was when I ordered over 600 spinnerbait and buzz bait heads from her, but it was only on back order for about a week. Their prices are hard to beat and I usually get my orders in 3 days after placing it with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico24 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Thanks Papamark, i did check out Lure Craft, and they do have good prices! I might be ordering from them, only thing, shipping would be 9$ for a 20$ order, not to sure if it's worth it... Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
