Re: making weights

hi,
i've tried the lead mould routine...forget it!! Its easier - Quicker - Cleaner and a lot less smellier to go to the local tackle shop and purchase them. They're not that expensive and esides a lot of tackle shops are struggling and the need our help. In return all the tackle shops l go to give FREE advice and help about fishing in the area, and areas to avoid.

Re: making weights

John Marshall makes all the weights for the carnage crew and has quite a good set up. if you have a supply of free lead and could get one or two mates together you could save a lot of money maybe you should pm John he's realy good at it.

Re: making weights

i go to a gun club but proper .22 rifles rather than air rifels
they have big boxes full of empty brass shells there which they take somewhere and get money for
