I was hooked on TruTungsten bullet weights. Used other cheaper ones here and there and they didnt compare. What is your TruTungsten replacement?

Strike King has put them in all the stores, Look pretty good, but I haven't tried them out yet.
I got a good stocking of Tru Tungsten and LFT.

The original owner of Picasso Lures bought back the company name and is slowing getting back in business. He will be packaged the original tru-tungsten weights same quality and quantity under the Picasso name they should be available soon.

strike king tungsten weights are very good and have great feel. they also do not have the plastic inserts in them like some of the other brands have.

I recently have been using the H2O version. I don't know how they compare to some of the other brands, but so far I have liked using them.

Lots of online weight companies out there now. But with shipping, I really can't see enough difference in price to make an order.

at tungstenwts.com the shipping is like $4.00 or something like that for anything up to like 15 pounds. a lot of companies charge way to mush to ship but with weights they can ship in usps flat rate boxes and most cases have the product to you in 2 or 3 days

Thanks for your help. I was making a TW order and got a few Strike King ones. I cant believe TruTungsten went out of business. I know the prices were rediculous but I tried others that werent even close. Seemed like they were doing well I could never find any when I needed them!! Bill Dee I am looking at your site, so if I am unhappy you will buy them back? Sounds like a good deal.

Most people don't also realize that almost every TG weight is made in one of only 5 or 6 plants over seas. so one companies weight is probably off the same line as anothers that may charge you 30-50 times as much like 8-12 dollars for a 1 1/2 oz. weight. come on thats just stupid. TT was making a killing on their weights when they had the market cornered. I do some of the ordering and know what the total cost is in getting them here and the online companies that do offer great bargins are awesome in my book for doing it and they are not making that much off of them
