Fishing weights? My neighbor was talkin about it the other day said he had the molds to do so. I scrapped up a little bit of lead and made over 100 3/4 and 1 oz eggwieght and 15 or so 3oz flat weights last night. Not to hard to do and you cant screw it up. If you do you just remelt them. Now im am out of lead so i ordered 13 lbs from ebay and ready too make more.
Here are a few i put in my tackle the shiny ones are the ones i made.

That's pretty cool man. We used to make our own jigs for steel head fishing. The fun part was being able to custom paint them anyway you want. Thanks for sharing, looks good. :way:

I used to cast ML bullets and sinkers until I loaned my melting pot to my FIL and never got it back. I used to melt down lots of used tire weights from the local service station. A little too hard of an alloy for great bullets but worked for sinkers.

I just stopped by the local tire shop and picked up 100+ lbs of tire weights. This may turn into another hobbie

Someone told me it would be too hard for bullets, but this website counters that: http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting/alloyhardness/index.asp
