Help sourcing tackle deals?

[RobAdair]

Hi lads. I\'m trying to find the best deals on the following tackle:
Hook snaps (size 4 or size 5), fluorescent / luminous tubing and 5\" muppets.

The best deals so far are from the States (internet) but having been stung for duty by customs a couple of times now, I would like to find somewhere in this country.

In the UK can\'t find hook snaps on the internet at all, best deal on tubing is from Glasgow angling centre (although 6mm ID bore is OOS at the minute) and best deal on 5\" muppets is from Jims discount tackle.

Any better deals to be had out there???

Cheers Keith, I\'ll check out the Lumi tubing. As for the muppets, Jims are £17 per 100 so I\'ll stick with him (he\'s also a nice bloke and very helpful).

Cheers Bri, I\'ve had hooks and swivels off the lad, but he didn\'t have any hook snaps listed. Just checked Ebay out and he now has them for sale in assorted sizes. Sorted!!!

NP rob i just normaly send the seller a message include my e-mail and ask if hell deal out of auction,as some items ie mixed sizes are no good i just ask to deal for the size i want even if you do pay a little more its still cheap
