Tim Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 I was going to buy 300lbs of lead bags from leadwake.com. Is lead better than steel? Lead doesn't rust and is more dense. Any other places to buy them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativefletch Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Typically these types of bags are sealed so they won't rust. Lead is normally what you will find in the bags. They are nice because they can be moved around in 50lb bags for better distribution around the boat. I run 250 lbs in my B52 Alpha because it's just my wife and daughter in the boat so it helps lengthen the wave. I run 200lbs up front 100lbs on each side and then have one bag that I'll move around, more to clean up the lip for wakeboarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted April 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I don't think anybody uses lead anymore. If you read the details, it's steel shot. Lead would have been nice as it's a smaller bag. I found the bags a little cheaper at wakelife.co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodiestcadaver Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 what is the price on lead if you are able to find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted April 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 50# steel shot bags were $65 each. At the top of the screen, they have a coupon code "wintersale". Final cost for free shipping and 6% tax was $370.50 for 6 bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
