Mostly Egi Sutte in 1.8 and 2.2
I will be getting some TOTO SUTTE R WS95SB in Blue and Orange
Supply is extremely limited due to tarrif uncertainty
So no importing is taking place
If you want some jigs these are $13 ea
Next shipment is uncertain with tarrifs of 50% or more possible
We have a fair supply of Yamash*ta but this is a restocking of larger sized jigs
