Hi All,

So sales are going a bit too well, but I've gotten stuck on treble hooks.  I need to source a supply of size 10 black treble hooks and size 0 split rings but appear to have hit a dead end.

The chinese one's we buy from WLure bend on big fish and are too big for me at size 8.

We bought a few hundred Mustad's from Motackle which are cheap and ok, but are silver and shine too much for the Bream and Trout fishing our lures are primarily used for.

I have a mate who is the wholesaler for Owner and was even approached by owner directly to fit their gear.  However the wholesaler is a top bloke and I've known him for ages, but that means that he just doesn't respond to my messages and it's almost impossible to actually get him to order anything for me.  It's been two weeks and I can't even get a current price.

We were able to get them cheap when he did supply around $12 per 100 rings and $66 for trebles but freight was a killer at $25.

BKK were keen but have disappeared, Gamakatsu wont reply and VMC don't appear to have a current local website or presence?

Hopefully the brains trust here can point me in the right direction?
