appreciate the tutorial... in my trade, i have pretty much an unlimited source of free lead.. and i fish. makes perfect sense to make my own weights.. you answered all my questions with this video. thank you.
I used these with the Team Catfish weight slides to make a ru-vid.comUgkxdmsDj7fQXe77DC0l7P7ua8B3PiESUubM Carolina rig and they were perfect for the ponds I fish. I have also used them to make 3 way rigs and these work perfectly. Haven't had any issues with them snagging in rocks or in weeds yet.
Love the video!! I noticed your gloves and you're able to pick up those eyes and put them in place...seemingly without getting burned? Thanks for any feedback. :)
Thank you very much! Usually the mold doesn’t burn you if you hurry quick. Eventually, after things warm up, I grab a pair of needle nose, pliers, just to line it up and hit it real quick with a finger tip. They lock in very nicely on this mold. Thanks for chiming in! Tight lines
@@prospectoroutdoors Yes, I just got mine in a poured a few. Funny thing, For the life of me I couldn't get the center one to accept an eye. Finally gave up, let it cool off and brought it to my desk and looked at it under magnification. In pouring a few without eyes to heat the mold, somehow residue was left in the eye socket that these old eyes couldn't see. I put a torch to it, pried it with a dental tool and it finally popped out. It sure wasn't lead, but problem solved. THEN I took my lee pot apart and cleaned it real good. Pours like a dream again. :)
