Looking For Small Belly Weights

Recommended Posts

I am in need of some thin "pencil" style belly weights that are 2 grams or less.  I need smaller diameter weights ( 3/16 dia at the largest) than the one sold by Jann's or Lure Parts which are 7/32s in diameter.  Anybody have a source?

Pellet guns shoot copper or steel pellets.  Stilllllll, not a bad idea, just a little lighter.  I have access to lead shot for shotguns and it is available in lots of different sizes.  pretty expensive to by 25 pounds if you don't use a lot of it, but......

 

You can get lead wire of any size from some craft suppliers as well.

McMaster Carr has lead wire in an assortment of diameters. If your looking for a weight with the hook hanger incorporated into it just cut the lead wire to length and drill a hole through the center of it. Then use stainless wire to form a loop with the tag ends inserted through the hole in the lead and then bent over so it can't come back out.
