Ron (and others) Brian Quinnet (Sankebite) is no longer pouring.  He pulled his website.

Outlaw is out of Oregon and they make good tubes, you also have Clearwater in Idaho who makes great handpours, and Snakebite is out of Idaho and they make some great stuff. Dry Creek is now offering awesome colors of smallie beaver style baits and I think that company is out of Idaho or Oregon.

Really! Snakebite had some good stuff. He actually was my inspiration on some of designs.
Sorry to hear that.

I agree, that is actually really reasonable, especially if you really want those baits, Quest Pro Tackle is the only company that I know that is actually carrying the baits now.  If you want something ask Rick at Quest if he carries it if not get some buddies together to split expenses on the bulk plastics or start a thread on the classifieds to see if people want to split those baits up with you.  It all depends on how bad you think you need them.

That doesn't sound very expensive, if my math is correct it would be like buying a pack of 10 for 5 bucks.  Seems pretty competitive.

I could be wrong, but, to my understanding Clearwater has chosen to go the wholesale route and/or will sell direct but you must buy in bulk. On my last marketing trip some bait shops were phasing Clearwater out. I never did get a good reason. I have spoken to Bob Banta, the owner, to see if I could get some lead product and that was when I discovered I could buy bulk only and I mean it had to be some big numbers to do so. I would like to know if anyone else has any inside info on them also.Ryan Lamb said:

Speaking of Clearwater, does anyone or yourself know where I can find these?


I come across them every now and again but only one or two select. in colors,

I love their baits!

Bob Higbee at anglers marine had a bunch of clearwater stuff, and if you call Bob Banta he will take orders. but  I do think minimum of a 50 pack.. but them tapeworms are pretty awesome and worth it..
