Bulk Tackle?

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Just wondering where you guys buy your hooks in bulk. I looked around through google.com and found a lot of sites with what I wanted but 99% of them didn't look reliable. Just trying to stock up for next season.

I am specifically looking for:

-Gamakatsu Octopus Circle hooks 8/0

-Gamakatsu Octopus J-hooks 8/0 or 10/0

-Team Catfish Circle hooks 5/0 through 8/0 (Don't think they sell in bulk though)

-Sinkers (2-4 lbs. and either bank or no-rolls)

-Heavy duty barrel swivels

-Beads

And also looking for a good place to buy some 60 or 85 lb PowerPro. Thanks in advance.

Catfish Connection is a good one if you want to stick to ordering online. Otherwise, head over to Moore's Bait, he probably has the best selection of Cat gear in the Southern half of the State. Matter of fact you might be able to do an order through him to save you the gas $.

I will probably use Catfish Connection then for bulk orders. They don't have everything I need but I can definitely check a few of my list. Thanks dtro.

I do not live in the cities anymore but will check out Moore's sometime. Have heard many good things about that place.

When looking at Catfish Connection at Gamakatsu Octopus hooks it says the maximum size of braid is 30#. Does anyone know why this is? I plan on using 65 or 80# PowerPro or Berkely Big Game 30# mono.

They're talking about braided twine for running setlines. 80lb PP or 30# mono on them is no problem.
