For years I have bought plain lead eyes in packs of 100 or 250 from Bob Marriot's, which unfortunately closed earlier this year. It is time for a refill of lead eyes, but all I can find are packs of 10 or 25. Does anyone have a good source for these?
Tungsten eyes are a better choice from a design point of view and environmental point of view. You get more weight in a smaller package. If you are tying for yourself it is worth the extra expense.
