Hey, west side here. Anyway, I don't mold my own weights, I do however buy weights. I just go to the hardware store and buy large nuts and use standard decoy string. For the same price it costs me to rig 12 dekes with lead decoy weights I can now rig about 25 for the same price. Only difference is that when you are talking a whole bag of 35 dekes the weight can add up in a hurry.

Moral of the story: cheaper but heavier. But to each their own. I have never had a decoy get away.

 

I order my sinkers from here http://www.miabasinkers.com/egg_sinkers When you order ask for the 3/16th holes I had him start making them with the larger hole to allow them to slide on the tanglefree line. I rig all my dekes like Rig'em Right style makes for quick setup and recovery.

 

I mold up all my own weights typically. The eggs work well if there isn't to much current. For fast water I like to use mushrooms or triangles.

 

I know a guy that makes 6 oz J hook weights and sells them to me for 12 dollars a dozen. Way better than cabelas. PM if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks for all the feedback. I may look into ordering some. I was trying to get awayfrom shipping which in one case I can. I do not hunt moving water too much so shold be ok. I really like the slip egg style of weight
