Ebay, you won't need very much to make 100 jig heads. You can get ya 50 lbs and be set for a while. I think I have about 600 pounds in my garage right now lol.

Tire weights will work, the only problem I have with it is it's a harder lead and not as clean looking. You should be fine with it.

Freight is not that bad if you have the option to ship it via usps.

If you know any of the AT&T construction guys there in Weatherford, you might be able to get them to save some for you. I was a splicer for a few years and worked with some of the techs in weatherford. I'll bet they can help you out.

If you want to be a little safer, buy a 1# roll of lead free solder. Works pretty good for me.
