Fuzzerr Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I am looking for a bulk supplier of the rubber in one pound rolls. It should be priced around $6.50 per pound or at least it has been in the past but the supplier went out of business. Where does everyone get their skirt materials?

brivera88 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 lurecraft sells it by feet...50 ft is $9.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 It is flat rubber not round. Sometimes it is round though. By the pound you get like 100-150 feet for 10.50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Hatfield's has round rubber in 1 lb. rools for $6.45 each. Check the forum named Skirts plus, I have the contact info in there..... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 O wow, do they have a website where i can view all products and prices or i can order a cataloge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzerr Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I was told Hatfields went under. That is where my skirts used to come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I'd call...think they are still advertising in "Retailer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 They don't have a website, but you can call them, and tell them that you are a manufacturer, and they will send you a catalog and some samples.... The number is listed in the Skirts Plus Forum. I think that this price is only for the main colors, but you can buy your hooks there, wire forms, etc... They don't have the best price on any of this other stuff, but it is definitely not the worst prices I have seen.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richoc Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Haven't bought any it a long time. Got a ton of it from Frank hawks(in think) living rubber. Do not even know if they are around anymore. Anybody know if still out there? Great place to buy through, I used to send them paint color samples and they would match if poss.

WidowMaker Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 HATFIELD is still in business as i ordered from them last month. Dennis Hatfield is one of the most reliable skirt/materials supplier in the country. He is also very quick with deliveries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzerr Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Glad to hear the feedbacks, I recently purchased a spinnerbait business and was told by the gentleman I bought it from that I could no longer get the rubber by the pound from Hatfields. I have the catalog I guess I should have called first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Party Crasher Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Living Rubber is out of most of the good colors since North American Rubber went out of business. I talked with them yesterday and an over-seas company bought the equipment and is manufacturing the round rubber again. Living Rubber says that they should have product in six to eight weeks.
