Good catalog. I just went over all 11 pages and it took me 45 min. Lots of stuff for cats to talk about here. I suggest everyone go through this whole catalog on line and check out some of the circle hooks from Daiiche wide typ. Eagle claw red super chunk circle and Teexas circle Gamakatsu! Lots of lines and crappie rigs. I expect to be in there next year!

Frank, Jared Pieper is their Field Tester. He is also the son of the owner. You may want to send him a couple of your B.W.A.B. to use.Let him see how well it performs. Then maybe they would carry it to sale to their customers. It may help. The address is Catfish Connection..P.O.Box 476...Pana, Ill. 62557 You may never know unless you give it a try...

I like this site. I checked it out. We like to buy our supplies a lot at a time so we don't have to worry about being out when we go fishing. I like their prices. I figure I will be ordering a lot from them and stocking up for the year.

Ya thanks I will send hima price sheet and samples! From one small business man to another.....might I suggest not just sending him a price sheet and samples up front? perhaps a nice professional looking letter with a little background info about your bobber including the link to your site. Maybe put a couple bobber with it with a note that you would like for them to try them out and consider them as a carrier of the BWAB? Not trying to tell you what to do, but if it were myself recieving a price sheet with samples to test right up front, I would toss it before thinking twice. Again, just suggestions.......not saying I'm right or wrong. I just know some of the feedback I've heard from a lot of your posts on sites like this one about how pushy it seems to be. Can't deny the problems you've had with many other sites in the past with the constant pushing of the bobber............so perhaps a slightly different approach??  |

Catfish Connection is by far the best place I have found that covers ALL of your cattin needs. Naturally as with all other online ordering, it's only beneficial when ordering larger orders.....simply because they charge according to total price not actual shipping charges. Keep and eye online at their site for the Hot Deals section. I usually put orders in to them 2 times a year at least. I've never had a problem with them, and they are A-1 for service. Shipping is never delayed like some of the "big" chain outdoor stores.  |

Rockbass you are right! About a month ago I told my partner that we need a good cover sheet about our company and product along with sample amnd a price sheet. We just about have it ready.We also have added 4 new products to our Smart tackle product line! Looking professional is very important since those companies have enough problems with fly by night companies! Thanks for the input!

I took a BIG order from the guys at work last year and the order was delivered to the house 3 days after it was ordered.I have never had any problems with them on service or prices.

Well, I just placed a pretty big order with them. Got some hooks, sinkers,and leaders. Got a basket. And I just had to get a couple t shirts and a catfish antenna topper.
There was a comment section on the bottom of the order form, and I did tell them that they were recommended here.
