Yes pencil style is pencil style but they have a smaller profile with the same weight due to tungsten being a denser metal.

I also understand some folks don't believe they are necessary but I feel I get a better feel of the bottom and what I'm dragging over and the smaller profile. I just wanted to know where those that do choose to use them get them at a cheaper price.

How did this turn into an argument? Drives me crazy....simple question of where to get cheap tungsten drop shot weights. Everyone fishes a little different and has a different opinion on what to use or how to use it. The question was where to get them not if I should use them. If I wanted to know if I should use them I would have asked that.

It's TFF....it's just what happens.

if ya don't wanna hear it....ask Google or Siri.....asking a bunch of fishing dudes is like asking for it.

I prefer to use rocks as my drop shot weights. Not only do fish use rocks as cover, therefore making the presentation more natural, but on a poor mans budget it hurts less when you rare back to cast and zing her (the rock) 564 yards in the air while your worm travels 10 yards. I then switch my presentation to weightless. Extremely efficient.
