Anybody on here making and selling dropshot wieghts?? I like the lond cylindrical type but open to others as well.
Thanks ;)
On Bassboatcentral there is a guy that is selling them very cheap. Look in the tackle for sale section.

there was a bag of them at the DK open someone donated. I am sure Dan would know.
Was it Chris from Bucketmouth? I won a Bag of His Shakey Head weights
If you use a lot of them like I do, it is not too hard to start making them yourself. Pretty quick payback.
The swivel clips are 0.04 each, and lead is about 1.00 a pound right now. That means for a 3/8 oz weight, your cost is about 7 cents each.
All you need is a pouring pot ($50 - 75) and a mold (do-it mold for $20). You can buy additional molds to pour tube heads and jigs - it will save you a ton of money.
Fishing the slag piles in current, I have used 40 drop shot weights a day - you would go broke paying 50 cents+ for them.
