I have a couple pails of wheel weights at the shop I would be interested for sure. Do you know if it is a harder or softer lead? If it is soft I am definitely interested, the mold I am using won't work too well with hard lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Sure is a lot cheaper to make your own baits and use quality hooks . I just returned from WallyM. to get a few groceries & noticed they have a larger selection of fishing tackle & rods . I can't believe the prices of the lures !! A J-9 Rap.was over $21 .97 !! and other similar lures were $26.97 (over $30 with hst) . Two - one ounce bell sinkers was $2 ...... beer is cheaper !!! Man ....are we getting ripped off ! Good thing my bananas only went up 2 cents/lb .!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-turd Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I couldn’t believe it either when I was in CT and stopped by the fishing section, only to see a mepps black fury #4 with the tail dressing selling for $24.95….. gonna start making my own rods and reels too as well as lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of J-9's & J-13's plus many old Raps and Rebels . Maybe I should have a sale and triple my money ! I hope I can still by a can of corn for 87 cents ....... !

Stop by Royal Auto Parts and ask for Mark. I'll be there tomorrow and maybe Wednesday. I usually only work one or two days a week there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsby tackle has a great sale on this week. Lots of good deals on lures and fishing tackle. Peter’s tackle has their annual spring sale coming up soon too. Support the local shops not the box stores. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy very little fishing stuff at C.T or WallyM. except a few VMC hooks I use for carp or a cheap 99 cent minnow scoop net that is now $3.00 !! (bye bye) I have been to Grimsby Tackle as well ....got a nice 6.5' ultra light rod there and they repaired my Stradic 4000 bail . Good service as expected from Mom & Pop shops .
