OLe Coyote Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hello; I make bait rigs and need a new supplier for beads. The fellow who I bought from was Canadian and he has passed on to a better place and I have no idea who his supplier was. I need 4 to 5 million beads a year, That is not a mistake I said million. 5mm and 6MM sizes are mostly used with some 4MM and 8MM also. I need a wholesaler badly and ideas! Any idea on an importer or possibly an Americam manufacturer would be preferred. Thanks for your help!! I am new here and if I have offended anyone or posted incorrectly please advise me immediayely and remove the post if you need to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markell Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Welcome aboard. Just curious.. How big of a bucket would it take to hold 1 million 6mm beads? lol There are quite a few resourcefull guys on here. One of them should have an answer for you. Good Luck.
