Choke Canyon Boy Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Anybody know where I can buy some tungsten weights in bulk (10-20) that is also relatively cheap ? I really dont want to spend like 2 dollars a weight... Quote
ib_of_the_damned Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I found these on ebay, they are made by Conquistador Tackle: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400061658161&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT They go for $5.99 plus $1.00 shipping Im interested in these weights too, I think that for this price its worth experimenting... Hope this is what you were looking for. Quote
VABasser Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I got some from there.Kelley Are you happy with them? If so, at that price I can't pass them up Quote
Blue Streak Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I have never bought anything but Tru Tungsten so I am not familar with the less expensive ones. But I understand some of them are rough inside and will nick your line pretty badly. Be careful could cost you a big fish Quote
MSPbass Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 That's a great tip ib. Thanks! (The description says they have plastic inserts.) Quote
D4u2s0t Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I have tried some of the cheaper weights, and my advice, is don't waste your money. Your going to lose baits, hooks, and in the long run end up spending MORE money. Most of the cheap weights, like said, can be a little rough. The more expensive weights are very smooth, and won't damage your line like the cheaper baits will. Quote
massgreenfish Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Check Northern Bass Supply they have a website,search tungsten and you will find half way down on page. Quote

angler1 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Save yourself time and the possibiltiy of wasteing $ and but theTT. 1 Quote
ib_of_the_damned Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I think the finish on the weights would actually attract bass because its somewhat reflective and it could look like a the worm or other soft plastic would look like its chasing a little fish or bug. As to the above post I think the OP was looking for a cheaper alternative, just like we all have asked about senkos and their rivals. Choke Canyon Boy, go ahead and try em out let us know what you think, for 7 bucks I would try them out. Actually I just might... Quote
A-Rob Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Bass Pro has their own BP brand that are a couple bucks cheaper than the TT ones or any others. That's the best I have seen, that aren't online... Quote
Matt Kremers Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Picasso makes weights that arent tungsten, but aren't too much larger. They are MUCH cheaper. http://picassooutdoors.com/cart.php?target=product&product_id=61&category_id=10 Quote
Choke Canyon Boy Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 1/8 oz is too small for me I was looking for more like 3/8oz. I'm not cheap with anything else so I just went ahead and bought the tt oh well thanks for the tips guys... Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 26, 2010 Super User Posted January 26, 2010 http://*.com/node/122 I have used Brent's weights and they are a nice alternative to TT. I dont care about unpainted weights. They all lose their paint if you fish them correctly. Quote
