Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
Seems strange that "Pro" is the lowest grade; what is the better grade called? Tight Lines- Ken Pro is bottom Select is middle Premium is top Yes, if I'd I seen them at a fly shop I wouldn't have bought them. I sent them back and have 2 Premium skins coming. To me Pro sounds like it shoul...

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
He replied, said I ordered pro grade, which is the lowest grade and that there was a 30% increase in cost this summer. Gonna send them back and get a couple more of better quality, and higher cost. Crazy how 1 of the same quality was so beautiful. Oh well.

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
Thanks. Honestly, that's what I was thinking i should do. Think I'll email him and send him some pics.
Email with pics has been sent. I hate to complain, but 2 of the skins are simply sub par.

Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL
Finally got around to reading it, cover to cover. Excellent! I did go to Ace and bought some wax meantioned in tips. I already had more than I will ever use, but... I bought the wax mentioned. Very, very sticky. I wouldn't put it on your finger. I usually just put some on my tying bench, where this ...

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.

Re: Going Out of Business
Wayne, that's awesome. I deal with a couple of small companies who still send a hand-written 'Thank You', with every order; makes me want to support them even more. As for Cabela's... not so much. Back in the day, they were a wonderful company; quality, customer service, the whole nine yards. Now, ...

Re: Going Out of Business
I checked his site a few months ago and he was out of the #2 size 14 hooks that I use the most. He was out of most sizes. Well, I just put a other order in for 1200 #2 size 14 hooks. I should be set for quite a while.
You might wanna check his site out.
