Default Hobby Craft

I am playing driver for SWMBO tomorrow (I do like to spoil her and take her out once a year) one of her stops will be at Hobby Craft.

So what goodies should I be looking out for.

Plenty of beads,they also sell heavy glass dumbell type beads that make excellent eyes for lures they are very heavy and i have never had one break there is also a hole between the eyes so you can thread them up the hook.

I keep all my kit in the tuff boxes they sell.
Look out for the sheets of coloured foam.
Plenty of goodies to be found
