Dear All,
We have managed to secure a contact for the bulk purchase of Momoi (Diamond Fishing Products) monofilament line, Braid, and accessories, crimps etc and we would like to extend to the offer to all forum members who might be interested in benefitting.
You can have a look at the product range here: http://www.diamondfishing.com/
Hi-Catch Diamond Mono seems to be of particular interest. Most of the mono is available in clear, blue and hi-vis yellow which is a matter of preference and easy identification of your lines, there doesn't seem to be any different in terms of line visibility once in the water.
Diamond offers tensile strengths up to 200% of stated line tests, so 30lbs line tends to break at a much higher amount that most mono, whilst still saving you space on your reel without having to go to a larger diameter line.
Braid is available in 300, 600, 1200 and 5000 yard spools.
Mono in 1000, 3000 and 8000 yard spools, with the most cost effective 'personal' spool size being 3000 yards which will let you spool more than one reel or you can keep it for when you need to re-spool your line.
I think most people would prefer to have their own spools rather than us buying a large 8000 yard spool and asking everyone to come over with their rod and reel to spool their line which may be somewhat time consuming for them although it does make for the cheapest cost per yard in that way.
They also have standard mono, IGFA rated mono, Illusion high abrasion resistance mono, leader coils up to 700lbs, fluoro coils up to 440lbs, wind on leaders, lock sleeves, rotary ball bearing swivels - with our without tournament snap swivels.
Post back with a reply on what you're interested in, type of line/accessory, how many yards you need, if you want individual spool or bulk (bring your rod/reel over), colour and line breaking strength needed, eg. 30lbs
Once we have all this info we will then be able to work out the costs and confirm back to you so that you can make a decision on whether to order or not.
Thanks,
Skip
Guys, additional to Skip's note, please try and be quick about your requirements, as we need to move fast since the fishing season is fast approaching.
Can you give us an idea of what will you purchasing please ?
Mono ? Braid ? LB ?? Lenght etc
Thanks
Chris
You can order whatever you like in whatever quantity you like from the items listed in the quantity above. The bulk order will be placed as one lot with the shipping costs distributed accordingly, the only difference is perhaps in the amount of line we will be getting which will dictate the spool size if people would rather it comes or a bulk spool.
We will definately be ordering:
Momoi Diamond 30lbs in Brilliant Blue or Hi-Vis Yellow
Momoi Diamond 40lbs in Brilliant Blue or Hi-Vis Yellow
Momoi 65lbs Braid in 600 yard spools (perfect for spinning/jigging reels)
Momoi 130lbs hollowcore Braid in 600 and 1200 yard spools
Momoi Hi-Catch 30lbs std Mono
Momoi Hi-Catch 50lbs std Mono
Momoi 30 and 50lbs Fluorocarbon Leader coils 100 yard coils
Momoi Lock sleeves Size S for 0.60mm - 0.75mm
the sleeves are in copper or aluminium?
i would be interested in 65lbs braid but in 1200 spools as i need 2 more spools.
if this works out i will inform you of a contact where we can get the Original Rapalas in all sizes and modela at a very good wholesale price.
i will inform one of the moderators with the contact as i do not have time to coordinate and will get like 10 RAPALAS each at a good price.
I'm interested in Momoi Diamond hi catch mono 40lbs in Brilliant Blue 1000 yards spool.. thanks..

1120 yards should do both reels.
Gaffer spools 40lbs diamond and then 60lbs fluoro I believe but he will need to confirm. Jonathan you can go 40, 50 or 60lbs on the std Momoi mono.
Fluoro leaders 60lbs or 80lbs you'll need to let me know and crimps will be getting a decent number of Size S and M crimps
Granitu fluoro leader can be used as you wish, just choose your line rating depending on the fish you are targeting and then you can still crimp it. I crimped all my fluoro with no issues.
Order will be closed end next week and will revert back with prices so we don't take long.
i will reply as sonn i consult a jigging expert. will be involved for sure. heard gd thinks abaout momoi leaders

Charles 15lbs is the smallest breaking strength they do in 300, 600, or 1200 yard spools.
Once everyone has put in there interest we will advise costs, until then there is no commitment don't worry.
hi skip,
can you please tell me the cost for the following items :-
Momoi's Hi-Catch Diamond Monofilament Line 12 .37mm 1000 yd/3000 yd
New DIAMOND BRAID Fishing Line50 600 yd 1200 yds. DIAMOND Off-shore Blue
Quote15lbs is the smallest breaking strength they do in 300, 600, or 1200 yard spools.
I would be interested in the above either 300 or 600, depending on the cost.
Will be trying to close this week so that I can let those who were interested know the prices. If anyone else still wants to enquire, please post.
whats the diameter of the 15lbs one... as i have a 15lb braid of diameter 0.12mm... just asking....
Robby, unfortnately Diameters are not given which leads me to believe it's standard diameter, but I would imagine around 0.15mm. I can email and ask but they don't seem to list their braid diameters anywhere.
Prices are breaking down as follows, with the variable being shipping which is always a nightmare. The prices below should be the absolute max prices with them hopefully being slightly less if we save on freight.
I have checked prices against several US websites where you end up paying way more due to freight and even against a UK site that does Momoi and we would still be cheaper.
All prices include VAT
Braid
15lbs Braid @ 300 yards - ?31 (?0.103 per yard)
15lbs Braid @ 600 yards - ?55.85 (?0.093 per yard)
50lbs Braid @ 600 yards - ?75 (?0.125 per yard)
50lbs Braid @ 1200 yards - ?132 (?0.11 per yard)
65lbs Braid @ 1200 yards - ?162 (?0.135 per yard)
Diamond Mono
12lbs Diamond @ 1000 yards - ?37.25 (?0.037 per yard)
12lbs Diamond @ 3000 yards - ?87 (?0.029 per yard)
30lbs Diamond @ 1000 yards - ?37.21 (?0.037 per yard)
40lbs Diamond @ 1000 yards - ?45.25 (?0.045 per yard)
Hi-Catch Mono
50lbs @ 1120 yards - ?41.65 (you may as well go for 40lbs diamond which breaks at approx 67lbs)
Fluoro Leader
50lbs @ 100 yards - ?54.25
60lbs @ 100 yards - ?67
Crimps
Momoi Size S Crimps - ?0.10 each
Momoi Size M Crimps - ?0.15 each
Skip,
Add a 1000yd spool 40lbs Diamond @ 1000 yards - ?45.25 (?0.045 per yard) hi-vis yellow to my emailed order. I mentioned crimps, do they come in packets?...I'll leaqve it to you to work out a fair number of S size and medium size.
Thanks.
Will all the spool Joe. I'm getting Qty 500 of the Size S crimps, the ones used for Mono 0.60mm-0.75mm and then will get some for the Size M 0.8-1.00mm. Larger crimps we can get here it seems.
Unfortunately the Braid is priced nearly all the same whether 15lbs or 50lbs as they use the same Thread Count, Carriers, weaves per inch and coating on all of them and these along with most of Momoi's range is a top of the range braid.
Check out this interesting video tutorial on splicing http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1243803144?bctid=1701226758
Please could Placebo, Jonathan, stevegb, sirena confirm accordingly.
I can't get the exact freight price until I know exactly how much is coming, and I can't place the order either.
I would like to order the following
Momoi's Hi-Catch Fluoro Carbon Line
20lb 0.405mm 100yd
50lb 0.66mm 100yd
Momoi's Hi-Catch Diamond Monofilament Line "Diamond Clear"
20lb .45mm 1000 yd
Thanks
Okay guys I'm closing this off today.
Has the order been finalised Skip ?
Ijwa ta boss, May 04 it was finalised !!
Finalised yes, but not yet sent though I do have a proforma invoice from the distrbutor....did you want to confirm the 40lbs diamond?
Yes pls, want to confirm diamond hi catch mono 40lbs in Brilliant Blue 1000 yards spool.. many thanks..
Shipment has left the US and is on it's way.
Shipment at Customs, I should say stuck at customs. Will be sorting out next week guys, sorry for the delay
Skip check everything well at customs before you accept the package because sometimes you might find some items stolen from customs.
Line available for pick up for those who ordered
Wanted to see if anyone is interested in Momoi line for the 2010 season as we're better off ordering early.
Prices will be similar but the dollar is currently stronger against the Euro so I will need to place the final updated prices depending on the level of interest.
I'm in for Momoi Mono - Diamond Clear 40lbs & I'll go for 1000 or 2000 yards depending on price
Skip, are you still planning this?
I think we don't have enough people/interest to be able to place a wholesale order this time around.
what makes momoi lines so expensive?
They're the best. The actual breaking point of the line is usually twice the rated strength.
but what is it best for?
Momoi comes in a variety of sizes, you can use it for backing your reel with main line for spinning, bottom fishing, trolling, ect. Recently momoi are also doing florocarbon leader line too.
Thanks nick
Any plans for another purchase this year?
