Fish Murderer 71 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I went to Bass Pro yesterday and was going to restock some of the tackle I've lost over the last few months. I went to get some weights and... OMG!!! Tungsten prices have gone through the roof!!! Four 1/2 oz bullet weights cost 25+ bucks!!! and thats for bps brand. Sensitivity is nice but not for that price... Anyone know where to get tungsten for cheaper than 7 bucks a weight??? Quote
Cgrinder Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Siebert Outdoors makes nice tungsten weights. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted June 11, 2014 Super User Posted June 11, 2014 Sieberts has punch rigs, etc.. He is a d**n fine jig maker too... He also is a sponsor here Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 11, 2014 Super User Posted June 11, 2014 BPS has XPS tungsten weights in 1/2 oz size, on sale now, two for $5.83. My vote would be to spend your money at Seibert Outdoors, though. Fair prices, great service, and Mike is simply an outstanding person to work with. Quote

TJS209 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Several places to get them cheaper than BPS. Guy I get them from sells 1/2oz bullet weights for $4.49 2pack so $2.25 a piece. PM me if you want more details. Don't want to throw his name around since he's not a board sponsor. Quote
RF813 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I just ordered a handful of weights and jigs from Siebert, they arrived today. The prices were outstanding, and the service matched. I'm looking forward to getting home and checking them all out. Quote
Mattfrom_NJ Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Glad I saw this thread. I bought some strike king tungsten from wM at 7.99 for 4 Quote
Big Swimbait Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Sieberts Outdoors sells them cheap. No need to go anywhere else. Quality & great service in what is quickly becoming a one stop source for essential baits & tackle. Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 usually order from alley tungsten but mike's prices are basically the same so i'm going to go with him next time (as long as he has inserts). i'm only buying weights w/ inserts now b/c tungsten cuts ur line so easily (never had strike king so don't know if they have them but i'm sure someone else can comment). http://www.alleystungsten.com/Tungsten_Bullet_Worm_Flipping_Weights.html 1 Quote

Super User Montanaro Posted June 12, 2014 Super User Posted June 12, 2014 By the way, I got my punch rigs from you today. You actually took my request for rubber band option on them. I was going to go alleys but that option and cheap rage bugs were too great to turn down. 1 Quote
sarcazmo Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I buy mine direct from china now. Prices are pretty amazing compared to what we pay here. THe markup @ places like BPS is CRAZY, although they do have a ton of overhead. Quote
