Mumbly Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Just wanted to ask where you guys are buying your St-36's from and if you buy in bulk? Thanks Quote

primetime Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 look for hooks under the brand Mitachi.....Save a few bucks, rep for Owner told me they are identical hooks, I Know a few companies Like Tiemco and I think Evergreen use them on their lures..We have a store that sells the Mitachi Hooks and they do seem to be identical but I am sure a google search for wholesale or bulk Mitachi Hooks would maybe help you out. I don't think you can buy the st-36's in bulk but I love those hooks. I just can't afford $3.99 for a little box of like 7 treble hooks except for my favorite topwaters since they are 2x strong and sharp.... 1 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted February 5, 2016 Super User Posted February 5, 2016 I make tackle and have a tax I.D. number to buy without the FET (Federal Excise Tax) and the vendors I buy hooks from don't carry Owner because they don't get much of a price break so they don't make much. For my Owners hooks I buy direct from Owner but I pay the same as everyone else when you add the 10% FET on them. Quote
primetime Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 we find deals in Florida for the Owner St-41's most of the year, they retail for I think $7 a box, but they only sell for $3.50 and usually the sizes are #1.#2, 1/0,2/0....If you wanted some of those Owner's I can pick you up a few boxes and send them to you as I plan on stopping by to grab some stuff anyhow tomorrow morning.... Owner hooks are expensive as mentioned above, I think Mitachi is kind of like saying "Pure Fishing" but the Japanese Version so they are the same company I think, or subsidiary, similar to how VMC makes Rapala and Trigger X, Suffix etc.. There is a few sites that are actually cheaper on bulk trebles than most wholesale sites or distributors, especially for Daichi death traps and mustads etc...I would look at Hagensfish.com guys buy from them and resell on ebay all the time from what I can tell...They also sell Mizmo soft baits really cheap as well as all kinds of terminal tackle...Much cheaper than any Barlows etc... Let me know if you can use the 41's, I know that is a low price but we get lucky and get overstocks or something of good items, lately alot of lures that used to be expensive seem to be dropping in price I guess because sales are not as strong? Competition for hard baits is insane these days... Quote

Do any of those places do online/mail order sales?! The one place in Tampa is a wholesaler/liquidator so he gets all kinds of deals it just depends on what tackle shop goes out of business etc...He also orders tons of hooks in bulk and he has had the Owner st-41's for $3.50 I think I paid without tax..I picked up 30 packs about a month ago, sold 25 for $7.99 each and then kept the rest for free...I just wish he had more sizes since only 1/0,1,2, may have had 4... He often gets the KVD triple grips the nice ones not the cheaper ones and does a bag of 100 for 14.99 which is decent.. I can grab you a few packs and hook you up next time I stop by if he still has them..I drop off packages at the post office at lunch daily, so I could help you out just not sure when I can stop by again...I would charge you what I pay if you need them....I stop by every week because I have an addiction to fishing tackle and I always want to make sure I don't miss anything...Which is crazy since I don't need any tackle but I am a sucker for close outs and deals on good stuff. I also love the older vintage lures that always show up when small mom and pop shops go out of business and lures from the 70's show up on in packaging.... Check Hagens fish...They sell the deathtraps from Daichi for like .18 each, 100 min, all sizes I believe, no wholesale number needed, you can buy less and only pay extra 1% or something minor..They carry every brand except Owner.Owner are hard to find wholesale unless in packs from a distributor usually. Regular Triple grips are inexpensive as well, Barlows is actually very expensive imo.... Let me know. Thanks Quote
