I'm looking to find some cheap duck decoy weights. Preferably eggs but I'm open to other ideas. I dont want the lead sticks or the "L" shaped ones. Over $1/pc for the 4oz eggs just seems a little ridiculous to me. Any ideas?

TIA

Superior is usually the cheapest place for lead.

Scrap metal. Melt. Pour into egg shaped pan. Profit?

I havent seen the ad in a while but there is usually some hand peddling cheap weights on craigslist.

I'm seeing $19.99. I like tying my own decoys anyway.

ETA: I hate those lead sticks idk why. I just like all my decoys to have the same rigs.

These premade game winners are hard to beat price wise.

In the past I've gotten decoy weights on Craigslist or ebay.

Look on Amazon, I bought 4, 5 pound boxes of Banks 4 oz weights last year. They were about $15 per 5 lb box.

4oz Banks on Amazon - $18 shipped for 5 lb box

The key is buying in bulk (30# or more) or pouring it yourself. If you can't do either of those, then what Vlad posted is probably about the best deal you'll find.

Try this link as well for bulk orders: Lead Bandit

They charge $0.16/ounce or $2.56/lb and then a flat rate of $7.99 shipping.
