Have an order ready to send for tungsten flipping weights from OMG Fishing which is located in China. Anyone know if this new virus will create delays in delivery? I have ready very good reviews on their products.

No idea, but great product for the price point! Normally takes 10-12 days anyways.

Don't pop any of the bubble wrap in your box when you get it, it could have Corona Virus air in it...

I have ordered many times - it usually takes 2-3 weeks. I'm sure the current situation is having an effect. That being said, it is a great line of tungsten for an excellent price.

It would suck to die from the corona-virus just to save a few dollars to buy your weights from China

Did some more research about the virus. Learned it is only spread by human contact and can't survive on other surfaces except for a very short time. Getting tungsten weights from a warehouse and having them shipped will take days and is said not to be a concern. Now if the manufacturer hand delivered it to me, that's a problem! Have sent my order to OMG which shows about a 2 week delivery, maybe less...not exactly sure if there will be delays due to some Chinese workers not showing up for work.

I know some suppliers of lure blanks are having delays so tungsten may or may not be affected also. Some companies who use them as a supplier may also have inventory here already to pull from

Early on both OMG and Joyfish both had banners up on their FB page stating that there will be an increased delay in their shipments. Something like an extra 2-3 weeks. I got lucky and received my last order right before all this madness.

I made my order before all this hit. Luckily I just bit the bullet and bought enough for a few years.

I second Titan. Same day shipping, awesome paint job, weight is stamped with the size on the side, so no more guessing on the size. They do run lots of specials and good folks in AL.
