I have been using tungsten weights since right after they came out and love them. A couple of years ago Bass Pro had a sale on them for super cheap. I loaded up on them. Today I stopped at Bass Pro to get some of sizes that I am low on. I got a bad case of sticker shock. 3 quarter ounce(1/4) weights $7.49 . Here do you buy your tungsten weights at? I am looking for polished unsleeved weights from 1/8 to 1/2 ounce weights. Please help me find affordable weights. Thanks

Carlos at River A Tackle (PM him here on the forum) sells high quality tungsten at a really good price, and if I remember correctly I think his shipping is only $5.50. I get all my tungsten from him.
I have also heard good things about a few other brands on here, so I'm not saying the other brands are inferior or are too high priced, I just don't have any experience with those brands. Once I started using the tungsten from Carlos I had no need to look anywhere else.

Unless something has changed River A only makes flippin' weights, not worm weights. I like bullet/worm weights and use Picasso weights from TackleWarehouse. I don't have APT close to me or would deal local, so TW is my go to. Picasso are also 97% Tungsten and have the best finishes in the industry. And they're priced competitively.

+ 1 on River A. I've only used him and I've been happy enough to not want to switch.

I just bought some bullet weights from RiverA......his and protungsten are equally good....97%.....diamond polished .....perfect .....but if I buy from protungsten.com I don't have to pay sales tax.
I don't like to hear "these are the best or those are the best" ......unless you tried all of them just say what you did try is great......or poor....as the case may be......if you're trying to make a living cool....otherwise your being somewhat disingenuous......of course everyone can have an opinion.
