    Just buy it from omfishingsinkers. I’ll save the rant, but there’s no company that has anything different or better. It’s silly to pay for any “name brand.”

    Should include the caveat that it will take 2-3 weeks to arrive, but the quality is top notch and the company can 100% be trusted.

    Pay for the name when you get stuff from major retailers when you can get cheaper stuff that are literally the same thing. It’s like buying name brand or house brand aspirin. Same stuff one just comes in a fancy bottle and package so you pay more to make you think it’s better

    I first posted about omfishing sinkers on here about 3 years ago. The post lasted about 5 minutes before they took it off here. I guess at the time one of the sponsors on here was selling tungsten

    Be careful with their dropshot weights, I've had issues where the line tie or clip that attaches to your line is too tight or sharp and it cuts the line too easily.

    Yep, it's China tungsten just like every other tungsten out there. Two factories on the planet make the stuff, so it's up to you how much markup you want to pay.

    I've not had that issue, but I'm also using it on light line (7 lb Sniper almost always) where it's probably not as tight. Like I mentioned above, it's really the same as every other tungsten drop shot weight out there unless some company has paid a bunch to have them put different clips on the weights. You can open them with a small flat head screwdriver if they're too tight for your application. I have done that when experimenting with "power shotting" with 16 lb test.

    .
    theres lots of crap in fishing that is cheap stuff with a label on it and its pretty frustrating. anyone use the g7 wacky rigging system? I can get the exact same thing for $30-40 cheaper and itll have tons more of the rings too! This is why I always look for a deal. These are weights too! nothing proprietary or anything special...as long as its tungsten why pay some hustlers who repackage things.

    Sorry for calling them hustlers....but that g7 wacky rigging system is a borderline scam at the price they charge. i dont mind people making money, but i dont like feeling screwed either.

    Recently had a problem with them getting my order, a quick email and they took care of it swiftly. Completely legit company.

    Titan sells two .5oz tungsten dropshot weights for frickin $8?! Omfishing sells two .5 tungsten dropshot weights for $3.60.

    I'm hoping you have more to say about Titan than "enough said" otherwise you're massively overpaying
