How to make Lead fishing weights (Egg style and Bank style)

In this video i show you how to make your own lead fishing weights using molds and melting pots. If you have some old lead that's just been sitting around the backyard and you fish a lot you could benefit from making your own weights vs buying them from a store. Its super simple and with just a small initial investment for a melting pot and a mold or two you could save a lot of money over the long haul. Make sure to where the proper PPE and be safe if you do attempt! Hope y'all enjoy, see you out on the water next time

Nothing like being able to do things yourself. Thanks for the knowledge brother.

That’s right, and saving a few bucks while your at it. Thanks for watching

You have to leave your molds sit on top of the lead pots while you're heating up the lead so they heat up too. You can also heat them up with a propane torch but not enough to burn the wood.

If you want to save some time filing (to smooth the remains of the molding sprue), grind down the outside jaws of an old pair of side-cutters to create a quick & easy flush cut. 😉

I used these with the Team Catfish weight slides to make a th-cam.com/users/postUgkxdmsDj7fQXe77DC0l7P7ua8B3PiESUubM Carolina rig and they were perfect for the ponds I fish. I have also used them to make 3 way rigs and these work perfectly. Haven't had any issues with them snagging in rocks or in weeds yet.

Preheat the mold to reduce short shots.

Where did you purchase your egg weight moles from and you're heating pots?

[@CaptCollier]

They were given to me but I’m sure you can get everything you need on Amazon or somewhere online

[@CaptCollier]
