We supply all Merrick Tackle items and are currently using their catalog, until our full online ordering system is in place. There are a lot of items in that catalog. In the meantime please give us a call, e-mail us for prices and question, or just to say hello.
Thank you. We hope to provide this fine forum with lots of good information, as well as deals and sales. Got some Clemens Custom Thread Art Books, Brand New condition if anyone is interested. Price listed is current selling price for used copies on @#$%& etc. Kind Regards, Peter Maltby Managing Member ACK Fishing & Tackle LLC Edited 3 time(s).

dont wish to be rude but $299 is way over the top i cant see many copies being sold when you have a forum such as this including up to date methods with people like tom kirkman jim upton and billy vivona to name just three top builders in the world. AND visualwrap is only half the price Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 03/05/2006 08:18PM by Moderator. Re: Custom Thread Art for Rod Builders - Brand New Copies

Thanks for finding some copies of this book for us, but the VisualWrap program seems like a much better deal. With the program, tutorials, pictures and forums it's pretty incredible. Re: Custom Thread Art for Rod Builders - Brand New Copies

You are not going to win any points with prices like that. Several on the left may have it for 30 or so ?? Re: Custom Thread Art for Rod Builders - Brand New Copies

There are several wrapping resources available these days for minimal costs - some are entirely free of cost.
As mentioned VisualWRAP seems good (just got it last weekend & like it). Billy Vivona's booklet is quite good; several other small thread art booklets are available from sponsors to the left as well as. Also, check all the rodbulding/fishing web sites you can find. There's some very useful information available out there. I have CRTA, but would never pay the prices I've seen quoted in recent months! Re: Dale Clemens Custom Thread Art Books - New Copies

Somebody will want them, but probably not at that price. You will sell them, hang on a few days and see what turns up.

If anyone has any brand new copies on the left for $30, I will be happy to buy them. The book sells for +$150 on @#$%&. Guess this is not the correct venue. Sorry.

Ok, ok I've got the point. Sorry I even mentioned it. This is just not the place for them. I'll move on.
Our company mission regarding rod building components and supplies ( Not Thread Art Books) is to be a 1 stop retail shop for everything retail customers need to build custom rods. 99% fill rate, no holes in your orders and superior customer service. We've done this successfully with our rod and reel side of the business for a number of years now. Top ratings in all venues we sell in including the main store itself. 5 Star Yahoo store. With the resouces of Merrick behind us (their extensive, unique and hard to find items) we can fill orders quickly and completely. Before joining the forum, we have already been doing this. So, if you can put aside the Clemens book then we can get to business on what we are really all here for. Thanks, Pete www.ackfishing.com Re: Dale Clemens Custom Thread Art Books - New Copies

Well, I have been given bad information then. Can we please just drop the subject.
I didn't join to argue over what the price of what a book should be. I want to build rods and sell rod componenets. Thank you all for your input on the book. If you need rod components, blanks, rod building supplies, that's what we are here for. E-mail, or give us a call. We will be happy to work with you. Call us and compare our prices, service and see if we have what you need in stock. Then I can prove what we do best. Take you order, charge a fair price (which you can compare to others), actually fill the order with in stock inventory (of course some items are special order), and if ordered by 1pm EST have the order shipped the same day. For the most part you should be able to get everything you need from one place (ACK)and not have to visit 4 different shops. Thanks, Pete Edited 2 time(s).

Hey Pete,
Welcome aboard, They will sell, I just sold a spare copy I had down here for $210.00 AUD without a cover, so if someone wants it they will pay for it. I'm sure a brand new copy of one of Masters books would not sell for stand price now days. Re: Dale Clemens Custom Thread Art Books - New Copies

Well, to my surprise, I've gotten requests to put the link back to the Clemens book. Just click on my sponsor link. You will find it. It's a collector's item, and priced as such. You know like antiques, baseball cards. Apparently some would like to hand the book down to their children, and know that as copies become more limited, the value only goes up.
For those practical folk, I've been in touch with David Boyle at VisualWRAP (a sponsor also). Have that in stock, and is going up for online ordering shortly. Nice piece of software. Also, clearly there are plenty of other sources for information on thread art. You don't need the Clemens book. It's just part of history. Watch the ACK site evolve, call us,nothing is outdated here. We've got some of the newest most interesting components available. Ashwood Butts, colored Fuji Reel seats, Moosekin in color. Yes, in stock for real. Need a Reel, some Power Pro line, Mustad Hooks (any model, size shape can be obtained that they currently make for the US market in 7-10 days, if not a stock item) Just let us know what you need. With over 50,000 NON-Rod building SKUs available to us from the largest fishing tackle wholesaler in the world, plus a completely stocked inventory of Rod Building Supplies and Components available to ship daily from the finest and largest wholesale components wholesaler, it's truely one stop shopping for retail customers. Call us toll free at 866-285-0673. You will be able to speak to a live person. Our paper catalog in currently in process. Sorry, we began on the net, this is what we know best, so it came first. Got the whole SEO thing figured out and now onto a paper catalog. Putting together a paper catalog will be interesting, but there will be one, nice and complete. We are not going to cut corners on it, so please be patient. Want to know more about us? Do some Google and Yahoo searches for ACK Fishing & Tackle. Try a Google search for Tica Reels. We are all over the place for reels, rods, etc. Now for our favorite part we've been itching to add since we did our learning with reels and other tackle. A top notch site and place for retail customers to obtain the rod building supplies they need from a single source all in one box delivered together. We will answer your calls and answer your e-mail. We are a little lite on the number of phone lines coming in at the moment, so if you get voicemail, leave a quick message. We will call you right back. Our phone # is toll free 866-285-0673, we even have a London number for customers in the UK. Call and talk to us, it won't cost you a dime. Can't hurt to try, we're paying the telephone bill. Here's to Rod Building and the pleasure it brings to our lives!
