jbrandon47 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Ive been doing the MudHole wholesale program for a while now and I understand the way it works is that they purchase blanks and rod building materials from certain manufacturers like St. Croix, Fuji, Pac Bay, etc. and then offer them to rod builders at a "wholesale" price. How would one go about cutting them out of the equation and purchasing straight from the manufacturer in an attempt to save money? Do you have to become a dealer? Order in bulk? I've been to Fujis website and they just send you to a dealer to purchase from. Looking to buy blanks, guides, thread, reel seats, handles, and so on...

Musky Glenn Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I would think it comes down to having a license and the cash to buy in the quantities they will sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washougal Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Years ago when I was doing much more business, a minimum buy in straight from the manufacturers was $ 2000, and it went up from there, depending on what it was.

KYLakeLunker Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Minimum size orders, which is often a good chunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
