When the weather is poor we all tend to hit the fishing cave to make rigs or like I did today make weights. Here’s a little look into what I use for making them!
Hi, thanks for the video. Can you tell me what type of pan are you using as I tried today with an aluminium pan which did not melt the lead ? Cheers Bob
Morning bud, Great looking leads & great video. Can I ask why you are reluctant to let anyone know where you got the double 7oz mould from? Kind regards Arron
Hiya mate, it’s a lead mould that a friend has lent me. He had it cnc machines up by a guy who no longer does it. I’ve now got a 7oz and 8oz skm mould which I use. There will be another new and improves lead making video in the near future
@@fishtales9688 I'm only just starting in lead making, are there any dodgy suppliers to stay away from for the stem wires as my friends and I can all bang a lead and don't want any failures
@@fishtales9688Thanks. The reason I ask is because I just recently purchased and sputnik sinker mold. And was recommended to use 1.2mm ss wire for the arms. I take it the 1.5mm still has the ability to dis engage after pull from fish correct?
@@claudeloi I don’t understand you I’m afraid buddy? I don’t give the spots away as people will crowd the marks. However if people recognise my spots then that’s fine as it means they have fished the marks already. I don’t understand why this comment is on a weight making video though....
@@fishtales9688 im just starting to make leads and have seen it on a few videos but if it can be done without like your doing then great, easier for me
@@antjohnson4236 I’ve not had a problem with my moulds buddy, I’ve upgraded my heating set up though. The stove was good for a while but I’ve not got a cast iron hob hooked up to a big propane canister
Wonderful demo on topic
Lovely weights there Tom keep up the good work my boy 👍
Love the vids. Great content...

@@fishtales9688 I've just bought the skm bomber mould in 6 & 7oz great mould!
@@arrondavison6355 great moulds mate you won’t go wrong with them, I’ve made a few hundred 8oz skm few months ago but yet to use the 7oz

Great video. What is the diameter of the wire arms you use?
Those ones are 1.2mm but I now use 1.5mm 7inch wire

@@JohnRidleyFreedom1 it’s all preference mate, 1.2mm will work fine but I like to make sure my lead is hooked in solid on fast tidal conditions
Thanks for vid, where/ can I get the double 7oz mould from please.
Michael Cox - Hi Michael, ive borrowed the mould from a friend. Not too sure where he got them from.
@@fishtales9688 lovely mould that..
@@fishtales9688 It will nice to give out all your secret, don't hold anything back. Your video is not fully useful and appreciated.

Sorry do you ever make the leads with out the rollers pal
Do you not heat the moulds aswell?
I don’t mate no, Although a few people have mentioned it to me. I find it easy enough without heating it
