Source for beachcasting lead moulds

#1 Post by TubeNFish »

I'm having problems locating a source for surfcasting lead moulds from 3oz to 8oz.
Preferably aluminium.
Preferably drilled for breakaway wires, but plain will also do if the shape is good (I can drill if necessary).

Aquapedo used to make very nice ones in aluminium, but they seem to have disappeared from the scene.
Any useful suggestions?

Those doodlebug breakaway moulds look the business. Pity they are showing out of stock at the moment.
I plan to come back to them at a later stage for another look.

The Namix ones are also interesting and available now too.

I'm not sure I like the adjusti type as much as the other "bomb" shaped ones, from a casting point of view I mean.

The shame of it all is a long time ago I bought and had my own full set of machined aluminium Aquapedo moulds from 3 to 8 oz, they even had hollowed out backs so they could be pre-heated easily and never got blocked nozzles. I lent them to a "pal" once, never saw them again. Well we all learn!

And I see Veals have a Varivas mould in 5 and 6oz which seems to be similar to the Namix.

There is also this:

Trouble is - no mention about in on the breakaway website. So unfortunately it seems to be "vapourware" at the moment.
