Celticav Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 My supplier of 3 mm metal tube spacers I use on my baits has gone under. Anyone know a good replacement? I can't afford Barlow's prices for them and I'm not crazy about the plastic tubing on everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Hey Celt, I might have what your lookin for. You know How I had good luck on spinners and wanted to build mine right? Went to the only local store that has a variety of stuff. Well I picked up a bag of connector sleeves sz3 for making wire leaders. Made by berkley. this is the ONLY thing I could find at the moment besides stacking a fist full of beads on each other to space the blades out. Hope that might help. If not good luck in your search.

Tailor Maid Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Hey Celt, I know that most often we go to tackle suppliers for components. I've had tremendous success at Michael's. The have all kinds of bead bracelet stuff and the have metal cylinders in silver and gunmetal that are great!. They also have plastic in prism and various other colors. Not as heavy but not bad. Great browsing...lots of idea material. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charkins Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hello, I haven't made spinner baits in years, but you might try Fire Mountain. I know it is a jewelry and bead supply place, but I see a lot of things that really look like they belong on an inline spinner or spinner bait. Hope this helps.
