Default Abel clippers

Can anybody give me the name of a UK stockist of those fancy Abel line snips? Glasgow Angling Centre is the only one I can find, and they seem to be permanently out of stock. I want them for a pal's birthday (I use the cheapo ones myself) so I need them within the next week or so. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.
Angus

You may just want to order it from the states. I just ordered an Abel reel from Home Page - Stillwater Outfitters and it was accidently shipped to the UK - came in less than a week (6 days).
They have free international shipping for orders over $200, so you may want to check how much they will charge for the nippers.

And given that it's less than £40 it shouldn't fall foul of import duties/delays - but don't quote me on that

Yes, like here, Stillwater Outfitters however getting it here in a week may be a challenge

Whoops, same as above, but they also have an ebay store http://shop.ebay.com/stillwateroutfi....c0.m270.l1313

Have you tried phoning GAC as their online stock monitoring isn't particularly accurate.

Angus, just how "bad" is the information this fellow has on you? Gotta be a real duzie (another 'Muricanism).

Fred, this guy doesn't have anything on me, but he does have his own stretch of river (I told you he had everything). Need I say more?
