SportFishing and Charters Forum - Looking for lead by the pound

Anyone got any sources in the Tampa Bay or even Lakeland/Plant City for egg sinkers? I used to have a guy in Bradenton who made and sold me lead for $1 a pound, but lost contact with him over a year ago. Im finally running out of lead from my last purchase, Im looking to buy 30-50lbs of two, three and four ounce egg sinkers.

I know I wont find anything for a buck a pound, but anyone got a good source that has a reasonable price?

i would try a local scrap yard.

Wheel weights from your local back-alley tire shop? They are very popular for casting lead bullets and should be just as good for fishing weights.

tampa fishing outfitters sells lead by the pound. I think last I checked it was $2.50 a pound though. whatever size you want, they are over by the bucs stadium

Yeah looking for sinkers, not the lead to make em.

2.50 isn't bad, ill check them out.

Or anyone here who makes their own and would sell that much let me know.

I have been very satisfied with both the price and quality at The Grateful Lead Sinker Company :thumbsup:

I have asked for and they have mixed and matched various weight sizes in one box. I have also purchased weights from them for my marker buoys.

Hope this will help you :)

Ther is a guy on Ebay I buy from 23.50 for 10lbs. shipped calls himself kells824 just look for sinkers and he should pop up.

I think there is a fellow THTer that sells leads for around 2.50 shipped. Also sells high speed wahoo trolling sinkers? Maybe his handle is sudden strike tackle?
