Title: Gear Source
Post by: tml2929 on June 30, 2015, 09:57:03 PM: Hello,

I'm looking for recommendations for purchasing fishing gear online. Everything from fly tying materials to bar fishing gear. I prefer to keep it as local as possible (BC or Canada).

I live in an area where we have a small outdoor store that doesn't seem to get much in and when they do, the orders are always missing items or they don't carry certain items anymore.

The catalyst for this post was a search for spreader bars / t-bars. Any help on these specifically would be appreciated as well. I took a look through Cabelas and Wholesale without any luck.

Thank you in advance.

It looks like Berry's Bait has a variation of the t-bar I was looking for.

The website http://www.togenenterprises.com seems to have good prices. Any idea about the quality of the products like the hooks and leaders?

Llama has a tab where you can select CAD from a dropdown list on the left of the page I believe.

Here is a reel with 10 ball bearings selling for US $16 (around C $20):

No catch, just cheaply made in China products.
