MarsOne 137 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hi all,Always been a fan of the Force 10 snaps - they were tiny and painted black - didn't effect lure action and fish didn't seem to mind either Apparently they've stopped making the smallest size, and even the black colour? I've seen some around the traps - but these are often worth way more than I was used to paying from Big W or Kmart :ohmy: Any thoughts to where I could pick something up in the southern area?

MarsOne 137 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yep, they do - just not in the smallest size and only stock them in chrome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm sure of you ask nicely they might get you some in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarsOne 137 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Aye - did put on my nicest smile, but apparently they have stopped making them.What do your decoy ones set you back? Any clues to a source?Cheers mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyb 1,017 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I've used the 00 size "decoys" in black, for years now and I think Ray and Anne's were the suppliers?Salisbury tackle sell the OO in silver which is also an awesome clip, tho' a little softer than the Decoy, which is not a bad thing as they sometimes pull out of snags with the 8lb braid and Flurocarbon.Both of these in the OO size are a bit fiddly but excellent size wise for finesse flicking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 i have the 00 and 0 both in black and i get mine from port rd tackle world, and ray and annes i buy a couple so i dont have to keep going out there.. mind you BCF had them to... i think there between 4 and 8 buxs and you get 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might be well worth a wander in there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarsOne 137 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Tried Big W - both collanades + marion. Might have to track these decoys down fellas - have to be better then retying knots every lure change! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyb 1,017 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yes indeed Scott, it might seem a trivial thing to most anglers but it is a vital link between the means of hooking up, or not, plus the convenience of rapid lure changes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
statesquider 0 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I've got a big w just up the road from me (cross/goodwood)I'll have a look for you in the next day or two and let you know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
statesquider 0 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 checked the other week but no dice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley 8 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 The owner ones are good but they are chrome. The spring steel they use is much better than the decoy ones. If you want the clips in black, Smith do them and they are almost identical to the owner ones. I used to get my 00 size ones from got one on magill rd. Best clips I've used.
