Re: Going Out of Business
Not the same price, but I got an order from them a few weeks ago. I got the barbless #16 wide-gap jigs and #14 barbless jigs (reg gap). I also ordered some slotted tungsten beads.jcwillow777 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 6:39 pm Since putting in an order for 1400 I should be good for a while.
Gonna try Sabre hooks next time. Heard good things about them. Same price, free shipping over $45. Just have to order more at a time.
So far, I am very pleased with the Sabre hooks. They are sharp and there seem to be no defects in the pack. For sure, with Wholesale Fly Co., you'd find some defects in every pack - sometimes multiple.
But, alas, the price is from 50-100% more than WFC.

Just got on the site WFC and there is nothing about retirement, no sales, items seemed stocked .... could it be that Bob sold the company or decided NOT to retire?! Oh my, would that be a happy day.

I used a few and quality was good. I bought the Korean hooks. 4.00 per 50.

Re: Going Out of Business
Looks like WFC is back in business! Still $7 per 100 hooks. Free Shipping over $25, used to be $35. I stocked up when it looked like he was going out of business. Should be good for several years. Still don't know how he can sell them that cheap.

Glad to see it is back!!
I bought 7 boxes of hooks yesterday and the inventory was still depleted with only 1 box left in inventory on one size I wanted.
Great news Bob!!

Re: Going Out of Business
Got an email today from the new owner. Seems like a nice guy. He'll continue to get business from me.
