millsryno Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hey gang, I'm looking for a tube dipper to supply me with various sizes of tubes. They will be sold on a website that specializes in hand poured worms. If you do tubes, please contact me. Thanks, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Im in the same boat with you mills, I have been looking for bulk pricing. I will keep you posted if I run across anything. Im trying to get tubes below .35 cents a piece, but no one will bite.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hey guys, please don't take this as a negative comment. Until you have dipped tubes in bulk amounts, the time and effort that goes into them warrants .35 a piece. I won't do them for any less than .39 CND on wholesale pricing which is about .35 US. You might think about doing them yourselves to add more income to your bottom line, that might the best way to go about it if you have the time. When you see the amount of small business tackle shop owners that go under, you'll realize that marketing someone elses product is not the safest/secure way to do business. Best of luck on your new ventures ! Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Safe New Year to all at TU ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamakazee Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 What quanities and sizes of tubes are you looking for? www.kamakazeebaitco.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotoole Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Tubeman, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone first!!!! I absolutely positively agree with you. I pour all kinds of stuff and tubes are BY FAR the most difficult and time consuming. I'm a quick study (usually) and I have to say that the tubes I'm dipping are just coming out great BUT, to sell them..... no way. Personal reward is the only thing that keeps ya dipping these babies. LOL Anyway.. thought I'd throw in my opinion and give you a little support there. Have a great one everybody!!!! Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I agree with you guys, tube dipping is harder then you average bait. I started dipping tubes and found out it was cheaper to buy them in bulk from a guy that is set up do mass quanities. I beleive the guy I buy them from now can make 1000 tubes in one hour! Thats about 950 more an hour then I can do. So when he makes $350 - supplies an hour, I'm making $15 - supplies an hour. Its this vary thing that will keep small tackle shops in buisness. I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel, I'm saying you make a great wheel, let me sell some for you with a little profit. So if somebody is looking to sell 4000 tubes a year I might bite if the pricing is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
