LimpNoodle Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Bear Valley blades are an old style blade. Still quite popular with salmon fishermen up here in the Pacific NW. Can't seem to find anywhere to buy these in bulk. Locally they start at $1 per blade and go up. If anyone knows where I can find these please let me know.

BLT Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Did you e-mail http://www.bcanglingpost.us/products.html and ask if they do, or can point you to a distributor. They may be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I've been in their shop as they are local. They won't tell me where they get them. They want me to pay $1 each for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'll see what I can dig up on the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Closest I've been able to find are the Aspen blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icblacklight Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 might try this: http://www.poulsencascadetackle.com/ on the home page it says: We are also the home of such familiar blade styles as Backmore, Bear Valley, CV, Lucky R, Wisdom, and Cascade (genuine Cascade, not ‘Mag Willow’ or ‘Olympic’). hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually used to work with the guy that owns it. He's not returned my email or calls. Seems there are only TWO sources (or actually one since I have a feeling that BC gets them from Poulsen Cascade) for these blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinman Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Generally bigger blades available at http://www.sdcustomdesigns.com/ may be able to get you what you need. worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Poulsen Cascade owns the dies for the Bear Valley blades. I'm headed down there tomorrow to talk to the owner. It seems that they don't sell the blades in bulk unless you're a manufacturer. They own the dies for several popular NW blade styles. Going to try and talk Tom into selling in bulk.
