60 cent each for 4.5 oz lead sinkers? The guy selling them is one county over.

I'd say so. It's about $5 for 4 2 oz sinkers here.

Halessinkersupply.com is the cheapest I've seen.

That's a fair price. Not a great deal, but not overpriced.

What kind of freight do they charge? With this I can drive my wife's Volkswagen 15 miles away and pick them up and spend maybe 5 bucks in gas.

Just went to the site. You can add whatever to your cart and it'll show estimated shipping price and total price. You can figure out from there what'd be your cheapest route.

I got mine from there. Don't remember what the final cost was, but I know they shipped in the flat rate USPS boxes. Made the shipping really cheap.

I use either 6 or 8 oz mushroom weights for my decoys. The best deals I've found are on Ebay. The best deals to be had are when you buy a mold and a pot and make your own.

I charge $0.75 cents per 4 ounce egg sinkers...$15 per dozen sinkers/crimps/48 inch lines plus flat rate shipping. People at the Post Office love seeing me come when in when its time to mail packages out.
