Thought I'd share this with any of you lure/rod crafters out there. 1st, I have no affiliation or personal interest in the store in any way. Anyway, found this place in Milwaukee that sells nothing but lure/fly/rod building supplies. The store has been there for 60 years, and is about the size of a large closet. The neighborhood might be a bit on the sketchy side, too. Absolutely unbelievable the selection that they have in such tiny quarters, and the guy who runs it is very knowledgeable and couldn't possibly be more helpful. Prices seem to be as good or better than many online options. I personally cant speak to the fly-tying selections, as I dont have much of an interest in it but there is a ton of it. They stock EVERY do-it jig mold made, as well as paints, powders, glitters etc.. A lot of rod-building supplies (blanks, reel-seats, handles, guides). Walking into this place is like stepping into 1950. If you are ever looking for a place to see materials, or need something that you cant wait on to be shipped, I highly recommend checking this place out. I have never come across a better selection of lure-making produts in a retail store anywhere. reinkebro.com/Ill say again, not trying to spam, just thought this was a great place that I was ecstatic to find, and thought some of y'all might dig this guys shop.

Nice. I'll have to try to check it out next time I'm running through Milwaukee. Kinda sounds like Dan's Tackle here in Chicago. Dan is an older guy running a shop out of the top floor of his 3 flat. Hard to find and packed with all a fly fisher/ tier/ rod builder could want. At 70's prices too. Crazy but cool at the same time
