Making Fishing weights for CHEAP with Do-it Molds 

My grandpa used to have buckets of wheel weights and made his own fishing weights just like this! We still have a few peanut butter jars of them that he made.

Nicely done!

Melt the wheel weights first in an iron pot, then flux it with saw dust or wax to get the impurities out. Skim the floating junk off the top so that you don’t damage your production pot as I did mine. The new wheel weights are alloy and eventually will stop up the Lee melting pot, learned the hard way here and had to buy another. Thanks

If you black soot the mould and the eye rod, it acts as a non stick. to get the soot, get a candle and hold the flame on the mould and the area will blacken with soot.

If you are using used wheel weights best to wash them very thoroughly before using as salt can hold moisture and water and molten lead do not mix well.

Nice really like it, wanna try, thx 4 the help

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.

Thanks buddy🎉

Looks awesome

Great video an that's the only way to do it thank you for the great videos

Thanks

Why do we fish with lead? Isn’t lead in our water bad…?

I appreciate this video 👍🏾

So this has to do with the egg weights, I build ditty poles and use some good size line to rig them with, could I sub out the “hole rod” with say a welding rod that I have knocked the flux off of to make the hole bigger? Because at the moment I’m having to slowly bore the holes out on the weights and that just takes forever… because well it’s lead and friction heat … two things that don’t really work together too well, yea I know I could use a sinker slide with a different style weight but I like that inline aesthetic and it cuts down on my supply cost not having to buy beads and slides … any insight is appreciated. Thank you and God bless

Thanks for this bro !!!

Thanks for sharing! Just subbed!

Very nice good job

lead.. nice

Love the video men but where can I get a melter and molds like the ones you use

always wanted to play around with this but the cost of the molds and other equipment are too high unless i'm going to sell the weights and jigheads. How much many sinkers can you lose in a season? I have packages of weights that are 10 years old. Some of the 1-3 lbs deep drop weights are older than i am.

Can I use old nails

Do you have to put anything on the molds to keep them from sticking

Can you share a link on where you got all of the molds used in the video? It would be great!

Where do you get your lead from?

How do you know when the molds are full of lead?

Hi where can I buy some weight tools from thanks for answer

Where did you get your lead melting unit please

Where did you get the moulds?

you need to pull the slag off the top of the lead if you dont it makes traash weights

Thanks for the vid, where can I find a melter like that?

nice can i have some😅😅😅😅

COOL VID THANKS BRO
