Ash,
I dont know if you noticed but Trash Bombs are 7 bucks, and Tru Tung about the same for punchin weights. Seems like a good price to me.

I like the fact that you can buy 3, 7 or 20. Prices are fair as well, even a little less on the smaller weights. As long as they don't gouge you on shipping, they will sell weights :D

I just order a bunch of weights from them, even got some 2oz punchin` weights too. Great quality when compared to others like tru tungsten and river 2 sea. I can't wait to fish them this weekend at Shasta. No I don't work for them, nor am I sponsored by them either. :roll:

Just my two cents.

Good fishing,

If I'm reading it right, it's $.82 for a 3/16 painted weight. That's a great price, a little more than half the price of Tru Tungsten.
That's for a weight with an insert. Insert-free 3/16 weights, like the TT weights are $1.19, which is still a good price.
I use them for T rigging, so the insert is fine. If I'm going to "split shot" with them, I use unpainted from Conquistador, from Tacklewarehouse, which have no insert and can be pegged with a rubber nail.

Coyote bait has em for $4.99, its under their own label.(punch weights)

The link prices look good to me. But with shipping I believe Ill save little to nothing and I prefer to support my local shops.
Fishing should be fun.

site has a pretty good assortment of painted stuff. Here's a couple other options which are a few cents cheaper.

Julian,
I ordered 20 3/16 painted with the insert this morning. I forgot to mention your name. Sorry.
The shipping was $2.50, and I just got a confirmation they shipped today.
$18.90 total, or $.95 each.
Great price, great service, thanks for the link.

can thick braid fit through the insert on those 1oz+ weights? That's why I still buy tru tungsten instead of cheaper stuff like conquistadors and such thus far.

Sorry, but "insert" = poor machining, and therefore a sub-standard weight.
