Technically, no one in the U.S. makes tungsten jigs or weights. they are all imported from over seas( china, Russia, India).  As far as I know there are no tungsten forges here. There are quite a few places now importing and selling them. Best prices I have found are from the little guys. Do a google search and try the small websites.  Remember it is all made in the same place for the most part. However, it is all too expensive in my opinion.

Thank you I will be making a large purchase soon. And I will not be selling my other jigs there way to nice for looking at. I Have also thought about turning some into blade baits. Once the blade is added its considered a spinner bait and legal.

Sounds like you have the right Idea there.

Ya I think its my best idea. I Just have no experience with anything like that. So the outcome will be interesting. But I figure it doesn't hurt to try.

I was over at BPS in Hooksett and had same problem finding lead free stuff too. I did find some jigs made by a company called Lunkah Huntah based out of Natick MA. They were a buck more so I picked up a few finesse jigs cause I really didn't have any. My big problem, and I heard a lot of other guys who were shopping right next to me saying it too, is that they really have a small small small amount of lead free tackle and so much lead tackle in a state that is outlawing them in June.  I need some ball jigs for grubs and tubes but its a pain trying to find them the same goes for swimbait hooks/ drop shot weights... the list goes on and on.

There is a list of lead frees sources /  supliers  on   Masswildlife    and   Minnesota Pollution Control Agency  sites.
