I need to restock some tungsten weights, primarily worm style weights.  Where can I find the best value?  I have purchased some from nako, looking for alternate choices.

Thanks
I knew I shoulda re-tied!!

Honestly, the H2O Xpress weights at Academy are not bad. My only complaint about them is that the paint does scratch pretty easily, but tungsten can easily be recolored black with a propane or butane torch.

Pat, contact American Legacy Fishing. I don't know if they are still doing it but as of last December they were offering tungsten weights at their cost, no markup.

It's worth a shot.

Flipside Outdoors has good prices.

I also like Reaction Tackle, they have amazing customer service. I got a weight that the paint was chipped in my last order, I emailed them a photo and they sent me three to replace it.

Check out Xzone Lures (a sponsor here) I believe there's a UB code for them. If you like supporting American made products, check out Titan Tungsten, but read the label. Not all Titan Tungsten is made in USA.

Thanks folks.  I checked out your suggestions.  Looks like nako, where I have shopped before and like their product, is still the best value.  https://nakoshop.com/

I buy all my tungsten from Siebert Outdoors.  His other products are top tier.

Nako weights have been the best ones I have used, paint stays on forever and the prices are among the best around.
Retired and loving every minute of it!

he has been selling some stuff on deep discount..well, he did over the winter.  I jumped on some and I feel a bit over stocked at this point.

American Legacy has been out of tungsten for awhile now. I just found the best prices on tungsten I've ever seen at a small online shop called the Jig Shack. Usually 1oz tungsten flippin weights are $8-$10 each, but only $4 at this place. Needless to say, I stocked up on everything... Look them up at jigshack.com.

You know, I build a lot of my own stuff. In fact, except for the sponsorship days (when I of course still used at least some of my own stuff) I've built my own jigs, spinnerbaits, grub heads, etc. etc. almost forever. In fact, I poured a bunch of wobble heads this winter. And I paint NOTHING. Ever...

Maybe that's why I zeroed the derby yesterday? See- still learning after all of these years (he said, tongue-in-cheek).

Not all Tungsten is painted. I seldom buy the painted version unless that's all I can get.
