I been busy making sinkers all week, poured 20lb of no-rolls and a few torpedos. Getting ready for the coming cat season
Nice, Im going to make a shit load of sinkers Sat. Im not sure what all he has, but he said he has a bunch. I always take people fishing who dont have gear, so I burn through a lot of sinkers. im stocking up.
How did the sinker making go Bro?
Hey y'all I'm going to be doing just that..... maybe tomorrow... with my medication for my "gout" I've been off my feet.. but I gave it a start before going to Squaw lake.... I have maybe 30 lbs. of lead to use up...
I am modifying a pyramid mold... 4 ounces to have a wire on both end.... I think it might be better for hauling in and not hanging up so much...
I hear you loud and clear Sean......
:cowboy: Knowing you as the Mendota Kid.... I'm sure you're are the man....shoot the son -of- youknowhat....
But all kidding aside.... good way to get some weights done and some brews too
going good, have around 150lb of lead left, have around 9 different molds so i will be busy for a while
my no-rolls are 3-4-5oz and the pyramids are 1,1-1/2,2,2-1/2,3oz flat bank sinkers are 2-3-4oz
eggs sinkers 1/8oz to 3oz, 6-8-16oz torpedo's and 1lb cannonball and 2lb rock cod for deep sea fishing.
Hey Ray,
I'll buy some of those 1oz Pryamids from ya. I love to use them for the Channels up this way.
:glasses-cool:
I would like to come up there when it warms up alittle so i can see ur machine need to get me one
Ray/Russ,
If you two hit Turlock let me know I'll come on out! I used to fish that place as a kid with my Grandpa when the lake was up. We'd take our aluminum boat out there and catch some really nice trout.

Ray.... I was wondering what you are using as a melt furnace....?
I lost all my molds at school.... when I was forced to leave....(long story)
But, I got a new pyramid.... 4 oz mold that I have modified to put eyelets at both ends... or just pour short and make smaller sizes........I just bought the lee Production pot IV.....works slick... well worth the investment....
For no rolls.... I just put a stainless wire in the hole and bash it flat and pull out the wire....
well ray, to melt down my bulk lead(wheel weights and such) i use a turkey fryer burner and i have the coolest giant ladle will pour and skim at the same time, it has an opening inside the bottom of the ladle and runs up the side so you pour from the bottom, and it will hold a good 35LB of wheel weights at a time, after i clean the lead i will our into 1/2lb to 2lb ingots that will fit in my Lee production pot. Let me know if you need to use some of my molds.
Thanks for the reply RAY......long time no see....Wow..... I hope you dont cook food in the fryer after doing the lead?
Sounds like you have a production machine.....Thats nice that the ladle has the spout as you mentioned....
AH? Now I hear ya..... got the Lee pot as well....
I just have some old linotype bars of lead that will last me a life time....LOL
Thanks ahead of time on the use of molds.... I may have to meet ya at Isabella and have a sinker party..
Send me your address on a PM.... got a package to send ya.....
