How to make copper pipe jigs for bottom fishing, Lincod, and Halibut 

Just made some big ones for the new 300' and deeper rule here in N Cal. 3/4 copper, 7" long filled with lead, about 24 ounces.

Nice idea with the cotter pin will use for sure next melt i do👍

Good work brother. Just a head up regarding the "nasty stuff" you call the lead. Pouring molten lead into anything you want won't harm you a bit. But rubbing your nose (like you did), face, mouth etc after you touched lead well...that's the nasty stuff you don't want. At melting temperature (621F) lead won't harm you in any way. The only time you don't want to breath lead is at the boiling temperature(3180F) which you cannot reach with the tools you have in your garage.

If you use flux while soldering it will pull the solder into the joint

Beautiful . I like what you doing things.

What they don’t tell you in the video. Lead and copper once in salt water creates an electrical pulse somewhat which attracts the fish. Check it out. I’ve made these for years.

That solder won't stick without flux

Oh btw water and molten lead don’t get along to well lol

Can you tell us where you purchased your 10/0 hooks and what brand they are? Thank you.

Hiya I'm in UK 🇬🇧 your 8inch copper weights how much do it weigh as I wish to make 9oz/10oz weights please thankyou kindly Mo

Cool video again! I hope you don't mind my asking this question but is that fishing rod holder on your garage door?

Heat your copper before adding the lead, you will have a much better result, you don’t want any water left in the tube.

watching see how to make copper jig, but the cloth your wearing will do absolutely nothing to protect you from lead vapor.
