Tungsten prices!

Just saw a name brand fly company has upped their 20 pack prices of 3.5mm beads to $19. From about $10. 5.5mm are $33. I've been hearing about huge increases coming but wow. Sounds like 600% increase in raw material cost!

Tungsten has really taken off in the fishing world of late. Might be a good time to stock up if you've got a favorite. I am going to pick up a couple boxes of TSS turkey loads too. They're already near $10 a shot, with a big increase the shot shell might cost as much as a tag!

I don't personally own any tungsten jigs that I know of, a buddy recently talked with a fella who works for a jig making company.

His take, the price of tungsten is going to make all jig manufacturers drop their tungsten line of jigs.

Me not know. This isn't something I've ever paid attention to, but he was adamant about it. My suggestion would be to stock up
