Started making sinkers today 1-4 oz. flat ones it is a pretty satisfying feeling knowing you make some of your own tackle i'll post up some pics later this evening
Nice job!! Now that you make your own you can go crazy with it!! I have over 120 lbs of sinkers and still close to 500 lbs of lead. The days i get bored i pour sinkers. lol
Good deal, nice sinkers! Always good when you can put a little of yourself into your hobby...... who knows, maybe you'll progress even further and come out with your own line of catfishin' reels:wink:

Wish I would find 50 pounds around here. Spent a bit of today looking for scrap lead. None of the scrap yards around here sell it. Guess my next step is look for a plumbing supply strore. Sure won't pay BPS prices!

Do you ever go to any of the small tire shops around your house? That's where we get ours, we pay $5.00 a 5 gallon bucket full of used wheel weights, and that's alot of sinkers!!! Oh and Toby good job on the sinkers they look good, and sorry I did'nt mean to hijack your thread!oooh:
Try the tire shops, especially the tire spot where you get your tires. Generally they have a couple five gallon buckets of old weights setting around, the price of scrap lead sucks so most of the time they will give it to you or sell a bucket for about ten dollars. Pretty cheap sinkers as a five gallon bucket of lead weighs at least a hundred pounds.
look around for old cast nets that people have tourn holes in and take the weights from those....
