Bulk Hourglass eyes for clousers?

Recommended Posts

For Pieter... if you're in the business and your local agent is only placing an order twice a year... I'd go direct to Wapsi and see what they need from you to be able to order from them directly. They might have some sort of "exclusive" with your local agent - but I doubt it... Nothing lost if you try and they turn you down. I know there's a fly-tying industry in your part of the world since over the years I've received more than one offer from Kenya and other places in Africa.

 

Good luck and post up your results with Wapsi if you go that route - I've always found them to be first rate (and that's over more than thirty years...).

Them folks make every thing, don't they? Have you ever done business with them?

 

 

i dont think they make anything. its the asian version on amazon or even ebay

 

Alibaba is China’s — and by some measures, the world’s — biggest online commerce company. Its three main sites — Taobao, Tmall and Alibaba.com — have hundreds of millions of users, and host millions of merchants and businesses. Alibaba handles more business than any other e-commerce company.

I order from a few companies in China.

I get most of my hooks and some fly tying materials form the first 2 companies on the list.

Good quality and good price.

I use to be able to buy from Waspi wholesale when I was commercially tying all you needed was a tax ID # back then.

I recently got a hold of them and tried to do again as a commercial tyier and I got turned down... you need a tax ID and a brick-and-mortar location and they wanted pictures of the place.
