Sorce for bare lead heads

[live bait]

Looking for bare unpainted smiling bill type lead heads, in the past I have used either Terminal Tackle, now out of business, or NJ Tackle, out of stock. Anyone have another source.

There’s a ton of lead head guys on ebay. I’ve used SLevad and Head and Tails Lure Co., (HTLureco) very successfully. They’re offerings vary from week to week, so you need to keep checking back, once a week or so. The past 10 seasons I’ve stuck with HT’s stuff - painted though.

My friend Frankie/NYSharpie uses a guy out East, here on LI. Check his posts, as I could swear he’s given his dude’s contact info in one thread or another.

Thanks for the response, I now have direction. Painted heads are starting to sound better & better.

On ebay they have a good selection and reasonable prices.

I second (or third) HTlureco. Bought a couple of packs of bucks painted and unpainted from them thanks to Lep's recommendation. Shipped within a week as well.

Looks like htlureco it is, thanks again for the response. I have to add that I like many others will miss Terminal Tackle.

That was a cool store to wander through on a lunch break. The hook selection alone was awesome.

Hopefully Terminal Tackle will charge reasonable shipping rates. (Son John is continuing the shop as an online only.) I have tied my own bucktails for years using my own harvested tails but with the thread, krystalflash, mylar, and tools from TT. However, I definitely prefer the lead heads from htlureco.

According to their website, & a post John made on another forum the online buisness is also done.

That is unfortunate. I wonder what happened ? I guess he sold off the contents and that is that.
