Why don't you ask your local tackle shop to special order you the flashers, it shouldn't take long cuz Oki Tackle is local

So you might think but in fact local retailers buy product from local wholesalers many of whom have limited selection this late in the season-that's the issue when dealing with small local operations.

The only solution is to contact somewhere like http://www.tyeemarine.com/ or http://fishingvictoria.com/ and hope they have some/would be bothered with a small order-I have found Tyee Marine to be best in that regard.

why get the local tackle shop to call up the local wholesaler while you wait and see if they got any and could have them there for the next day? Oki's  Betsey flashers are pretty popular with most of my saltwater fishing buddies and they get them from SeaRun in Coquitlam all the time.
