Great video. Definitely a money saver. I’ve been making my own sinkers and jigs for many years.

Thanks man!

Great video Lawless. Great step by step instructional.

Thanks clay!

I always set my mold on top of the kettle to pre heat while the kettle is heating up and keep it warm

[@TheLawlessTide]

Great idea!

[@GetMorrOutdoors]

Great video with a lot of good information! Quick question though; where do you get the wire from, and is there a particular size you prefer?

[@TheLawlessTide]

Thanks Jason! Lowe’s or Home Depot just 14 to 16 gauge galvanized steel.

Looks like a old pair of fireman’s gloves. Those work great

[@TheLawlessTide]

They are. From my previous line of work.

[@welshcoastangling756]

What gauge wire are you using for the claw

[@moiecol]

Use a toaster oven to keep the mold very warm. °200 - °250ish

Plumbing shops may be a source for lead from old drain lines that have been removed. If you happen to have a metal detector you can find lead sinkers along the banks of any lake.

[@TheLawlessTide]

Forgot about the old plumbing. Thanks Pat!

Hey bud...kinda off topic, but I've been studying your videos an I've noticed a tool you use to take the bait of your Sabiki rigs. What is that tool..an where can I find it?

[@raymondhamilton3115]

Thank you..

[@TheLawlessTide]

I’ve always heard them referred to as bait hook remover or a Sabiki tool. Most tackles shops along the coast carry them. Just ask for a sabiki tool and they should know what your talking about. Thanks for watching!

[@raymondhamilton3115]

Appreciate it!

[@AlexMartinez-ef7fp]

Would you recommend me ordering my equipment from do it molds ???

[@TheLawlessTide]

They have been good to me.

@@TheLawlessTide okay thank you sir

[@johnhutchinson112]

What size wire are you using

[@TheLawlessTide]

I believe it was 14 gauge galvanized.

[@piramagron]

hej var kan man köpa en el

[@mastabass4032]

What's the info on the wire sir? Thanks!

[@TheLawlessTide]

I use galvanized steel wire, gauge depends on size of sinker. Were you wanting the gauge for the 8 oz weight?.

[@TheLawlessTide]

14 to 16 gauge on the 8 ounce. Hope that helps.

[@mastabass4032]

@@TheLawlessTide thanks man!!!

[@TheLawlessTide]

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@mastabass4032]

@@TheLawlessTide I've watched all of your videos !!!!!! Good pointers!!!!!

[@abitoferthang3788]

Arent those sputnik sinkers

[@TheLawlessTide]

Technically they are claw weights. Sputniks have the arms that swing loose.

[@fredfable5655]

Wrong molds. That kind of sinkers are a mess, the less practical on earth.
Get a different mold .
You are right in all the rest.
Congrats.

[@TheLawlessTide]

Thanks but I've had zero problems with that mold and those are the only weights I use with my cast out shark rigs. Never had a problem.
