There is a place in WA that sells 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2", but very pricey 1.5-2 ft for $2.50 last I checked. If you want the 1/4" he is the sole owner of the only batch produced. The company is called Trophy Tackle. The number is out there, but I have forgotten it. He also sold to ALL SPORTS in Clackamas OR, so the smaller tackle shops in WA and OR buy from ALL SPORTS and might be able to get for you.

Like I posted above 15.00 for 20ft. at R&R marine in P.A.and that was shipped to my house.K

Thats 1/2" for that price

R&R won't run out anytime soon. He has a spool that has 2600 ft on it.

ace hardware has the 1/2 in gray, bought a roll of 20 ft for $3.50 with tax.
thought i would experiement with solid cloth dye to change appearence.

if you want gray ace is the place, just ask the coach on the commercials.

Curt, I would like to experiment with a little bigger puff balls... The company that I buy them from, (in bulk) only makes three sizes, with the larger being #3's. I would like to fish a #4 or #5.... but they don't make them that big.

It's not about money, it's about catching steelies..

Trophy Tackle's phone number is 1-360-435-8624 and lives in Bellevue WA. I have found some places have a very light gray, but white is more durable. Andy if you see this please email me the price list for your products. (see profile) Have heard of guides boondogging (sp?) the rag on the coastal rivers and doing quite well, and a friend uses them for bottom fishing. The possibilities are endless.

If your are looking for cheap backer rod go to a Home Depo or an Eagle hardware. These two stores carry the same type and color of backer rod in stock. I think is is a 30' - 50' roll in one package. I think is sells for about $4.50 per package. The two colors that they carry are light grey and charcole colors. Hope this will help. You really don't have to travel far if this will satisfy you. See ya!
