| Re: making leads? steve, when i used to make my own weights , i used to use a milk pan you can pick 1 up for under a fiver, and theres 2 pouring lips on this pan making heating the lead and pouring it straight away easy, cheers lee. __________________ A MAN IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL HE IS MARRIED, THEN HE IS FINISHED .!!! |

| Re: making leads? the most important thing about casting your own leads is to make sure your mould is allready hot before you pour in the lead or it will set before its full allso if you are doing it outside make sure theres no sign of rain or it will bubble everywhere __________________ fishing is fishing if you catch anything it,s a bonus |
