Well Rivera Tackle is so popular that they're sold out of 1oz flippin weights, and that's what I'm looking for...
I'll keep checking back with them, thanks for the recommendations everyone. we've got 1oz black in stock....Thanks!

90 percent of time the names mentioned above get there’s from OMF and have it labeled as there own. Only couple places in the world that make these weights. USA isn’t one of them unless it’s changed in last few months from trying start my own hustle doing it OMF is actually one of the smallest ......and not true about the 90 percent....

They are all sourced from overseas. I'm not aware of any company producing tungsten in the US

Another option I've used is RusselMarine. Although you have to buy in sets, its the cheapest I've come across.¼ oz is .95 per unit. I've also used Beast Coast Fishing before and they have close to same prices as above, although they always seem to be out. I've never heard of Rivera but I like that swanger concept. Also I like they have more weight options. Randomly this came into my youtube feed. Interesting way to "fix" those chipped weights.

Do you know when you'll have the Green Pumpkin 1oz back in stock? I know it probably doesn't make a huge difference but the GP is a confidence thing for me. I prefer it unless I'm using a black/blue bait.

Go to the source. http://www.omfishingsinkers.comI've had a pretty good set of experiences with them. China has 75% of the world's tungsten. Tungsten weights we buy in the US are just rebranded Chinese tungsten. Don't pay for the mark up.

Dang a 1oz green pumpkin weight is $3.56 on that site! Plus shipping of course but I'm used to seeing $6+ everywhere.
