Wasn't impressed with gander mountain selection in Kenosha, or cabelas in Richfield. Tried a few websites, but the faceted 6mm just not that common. Hobby lobby the best lead so far, but is it good quality?

Tried stamina but didnt see much. Fleet farm in plymouth was pretty weak.

Anyone have a resource they care to share? janns come close, so probably order from them.

HGMeyer you should be good for one?

Hobby Lobby, Ben Franklins, Jo ann Fabrics, any craft store that has them. although a lot of them downsized thier bead selection in the last couple years.

Hobby Lobby was having 50% off sales.

I "should" be set for a decade of harnesses, but I suspect I'll be buying a few more this year....I always do.

Mark,

Sportsmans in DePere has he best selection on every color and they are reasonably priced... I searched high and low last year for a good source and they are the best in my humble opinion... They even expanded thier selection after a couple of us asked them to.. they have every shade of purple and every other color you could ever use.  The Sportsmans store in West Bend does not carry the same array of beads.

Northland has some new beads that have the pearl look to them. Great beads and light weight, they don't hinder the rise affect of the spinner blade.

I recommend trying Mackslure.com. They have a good selection of beads, single up to 8mm, tappered, and torpedo beads numerous colors of all. I also strongly suggest the wedding ring componet for that extra flash and sparkle. I have noticed increased catches on harnesses with the wedding ring in it compared to the same colored harness with out it.
