radiant lures

[supertackle]

Dick James sold Radiant Lures several years ago and the new owner went bankrupt.
His son is operating a wholesale business out of Nanaimo.
Harbor Chandler and others handle his new line of hootchies.
Check your visa or bank account
I really doubt your money was taken.

Dick James was my uncle RIP
Dick was the founding member of the RCNA Royal Canadian Navy Anglers
Dick's younger bother is Jack James (my father)
Jack James, Fred Packford & Bruce Colegrave started Radiant Lures in 1966.
Bruce (RIP) sold his third to Fred & Jack in the early days.
My brother John James started the Tyee Tackle website (it sold many years ago to Paul? )
Radiant Lures sold to Ken Lumley in Sooke then moved his shop to Sidney.
The internet is messed up with old information about Radiant Lures.

I am Matt James (Jack's son).
My wife & I own Supertackle (2011).
Supertackle is a manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of fishing tackle related products.
Supertackle is an internet based company and does not have a brick & mortar store.


The James family has no idea how to get a hold of Ken.

I just bought some Radiant hoochies from Tyee Tackle

a guy by the name of Paul Elworthy runs it out of Victoria.

I asked him if Radiant was out of business and he said yes.

He said they are just selling off old Radiant stock...and he also said that when that's done they will start selling SuperTackle hoochies....

he told me that some of the online sites (like Tyee Tackle for one) contain outdated info.

They no longer sell 3 inch hoochies even though they list them on the site....for example......

They made a mistake on my order......sent me hoochies that are called the right name but look nothing like the one in the online pictures (which is why I phoned him and talked to him personally).

He said right now they ship 99% of stuff to the USA......

So...according to Paul Elworthy, Radiant is definitely kaput....
