Hello! I have been getting some requests for inlines. It's a bit of a challenge with my current molds tbh, but I am considering getting some molds printed to allow for the addition of a stem. Will post when they become available! As they stand, swivel systems are actually a great deal more versatile!
That's not a 'little' 2 1/2 oz weight. It's huge compared to a lead weight, plus being porous it may weigh 3 1/2 oz by the time you reel in. I agree we need to stop using lead but I dont think massive concrete weights are the answer.
Appreciate your input! I am definitely looking at eco-friendly additives that could increase the overall density of the weights without compromising their porous nature. My research has found a few possibilities. So far, these have performed well, and my customers have been satisfied with the product!
I am selling these for cheaper than lead weights for the reason that they are cheaper in terms of raw material. However, the process is far more extensive with a larger margin of error. The main objective is to lower my ecological footprint as the long-term implications of lead are horrifying, and across Europe, many lakes are banning the use of lead. The virtues of cement/concrete are numerous!
Good luck. I found that weights like that were great in still water and horrid for rivers.
Indeed, it would be an adjustment to have a confident placement in faster moving rivers for sure. We will see how the season goes!
They look awesome man. Good luck with the weights and the guiding this season!
Thanks Paul!
hello i am a wildwater carp angler in Indiana, i would love to try these weights! could you make in-line?

So what you after is a bigger profit margin. So you don’t used lead as concrete is cheap 😂😂 😂
