A newbie question

[johnyboy]

Hi All,

Since recently purchasing a starter kit from Grommit, I've been having a go at tying a few lures. Just looking for some advice on where to buy materials/tools on the net.

Cheers. John

Thanks for all those, will have a look through. I'm thinking about popping down to Sportfish in Theale at the weekend - but have been warned it can end up being quite an expensive place to visit.

Thanks again.

That would be my advice John, nice, friendly people.
Tell them what you want, your budget, they will see you right.

I know it' tempting but try to avoid packs or selections...you just end up with loads of yarns and body wraps you'll never use.Even the colours may disappoint you when you're finding your way around...eg. Lureflashes hot oranges are completely different to Verniard... sounds trivial but it really can be very frustrating....see before you buy
