Decoy weights

[Phil Nowack]

Where can I find decoy weights? I am looking for 2-3 doz for Texas rigs. I am not looking for complete rigs.. just weights. I like the Fish weight style (I think the are called) or the Rig em Right weights.. but only as a kit.


Do I just need to stick with my go to, 1 1/4" plated nut?

I think they are just egg sinkers or bank sinkers in either 4, 6, or 8 oz.? Any salt water tackle shop should have a bunch of them in stock.

I second going to a local tackle shop and buying some from them. They usually have a decent selection.

Not many saltwater water tackle places in NE Iowa....

EBAY is your friend Phil and it's cheaper

 

[Phil Nowack]

I have been looking.. Accidently bought some that was a mixed lot..

Not THAT much there, that I have found.

Perhaps looking for decoy weights will be better than decoy anchors.....

What type
Egg ?
Flat ?
Pyramid ?
Mushroom ?
How many ounces ?

 

[Phil Nowack]

found some Pyramid.. I prefer 6-8 oz.. I will not use straps.. and prefer to have fewer hard edges.. My preferred ones, I think are called "fish" weights.

NP Phil, glad it worked out.

Our walmarts carry them here up to 6 oz. in fishing section. When they,re in stock which has been unreliable this year. They are cheapest i,ve found.

Phil, another option if you have a bunch of lead already is to get a sinker mold and make your own weights. I have a mold for making 8 oz egg sinker weights. It makes 2 at one time I believe. I got it from a saltwater fishing shop.

Check out "Grateful lead". Big selection, decent prices when I converted over to texas rigs a few years back.
