Lead collared punch weights

[sage]

I'm looking to buy weights in 1/8 or 3/16 oz, 1/4 oz, 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz. Is there any place that sells them either painted or not. My cousin made me a bunch a few years ago but got out of doing it and sold his molds.

3/8 & over are easy, less the 3/8 not so easy!

You can also buy the skirt hubs on their own, to use with any size bullet weight.   I sometimes like to peg the skirt and let the bullet weight slide in front of it.

Are you looking for the weight and collar molded as one piece or the 2 pieces separate? 

[sage]

One piece. They make a mold that does 1/8 to 9/16 oz. I just didn't want to get into making them. Thought maybe someone made them to buy.

I got mine from Real Deal Custom and Siebert may have them too.

Don't-It molds call this a Slip Jig. Contact Do-It they should know a retail supplier who makes the slip jigs.

Siebert has the best pricing and selection imo (Plus colors you won't find on any big fishing site) and you have the choice of about 10 colors in 2 different styles of bullet weights. You can also have a Punch skirt added in any color you want on some, wire tied, but If you contact Siebert Outdoors, you can get a good mix of sizes usually hard to find like 5/16, 5/8 3/16 etc.

 

For the sizes you are looking for the weights are going to be inexpensive compared to say the packaged brands at Dicks, BPS etc. I use lead for weights 1/4 and smaller especially for pitching, I never get the benefits of added "Sensitivity" since I add Inserts in all Tungsten because every brand and smooth weight has cut my line at one time or another, more the heavy one's but I actually prefer Silver or plain color for all weights over 3/4 or I buy Silver if cheaper since:

 

If you take a BBQ Torch to a Tungsten weight it will turn black once it gets Red from heat and dropped in Ice Water. You don't want to heat Tungsten that has inserts unless you plan on putting in new ones, but if you heat them until they just start to turn orange, they end up in a cool rainbow/Dull Grey color instead of Dark Black.

 

I love Tunsten for pitching and PUnching especially due to the smaller size, plus the shape of punching weights in bigger sizes is less likely to pop open the fishes mouth. A 1/2 Tunsten is much shorter than standard Lead or Brass. Hope that helps. I would read reviews if buying online from a retailer since some brands get poor reviews for chipping etc...Bullet weight brand was really bad, BPS really bad, and one other, maybe i had Bad batches but Sieberts are all top quality and so are Vike, and other Trusted names.

 

You can never have enough bullet weights. I am convinced 5/16 can make a difference over 1/4 since I notice many pro's and experienced guys are always using odd weights like 7/8, 5/16,5/8 instead of what everyone else uses. Maybe it is a confidence thing but I love 3/16 the most.

Lurecraft if lead is OK
