I have seen a number of posts where folks will post a link to their favorite parts and supplies places and then over time the post will trickle down and eventually someone will ask again the same question. This post has been stickied to the top to make it easier for everyone to see for a one stop place to go and find you parts and supplies. So if you want your favorite place to shop for your supplies to be posted here to help out UB members looking for stuff, then please send a PM to Bassinkorea (http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?action=profile) and I will add your links to this thread list.
