got given about 7kgs of lead by the father in law last week and im thinkin of buyin a mold to make my own weights. ive rang round and can get 16kgs of lead that works out at 8cent an oz so might be worthwhile.
the main leads i use are 3/4/5oz grip leads.
any molds in particular that i should look for and any that i should keep away from??
cheers in advance

Re: lead molds
Have a look at the namex moulds, they are comprable to breakaway impact leads but cheaper and easier to make

Re: lead molds
cheers lads, ive heard the namix ones are good but they only do 90g and 165g.
the ones on uk hooks are a bit pricey, to get the 3, 4 and 5oz it'd be €195 before postage.

see the below link there is a wide variety of mounds on veals, will give you an idea for the types available.

I recently bought the Gemini Splashdown mould - great bit of kit.
Mould and accessory bits for 5 leads - £25.00
This mould kit allows you to make the Splash Down sinkers in either 130gm, 150gm or 170gm sizes.
The replacement accessory kit is £9.00 for 10 leads of either size.

i looked at them but the thing that put me off was that it will still cost nearly a Euro everytime i make a weight and thats not including the price of the mold, lead and gas. their meant to be a crackin lead tho.

Re: lead molds
great job the splashdown, you can buy the extras to use them as plain leads, fixed, uptide extensions,springy wires etc too,
Not the BigPhil from Irish Angler mag, I'm the original, i swear!!!!
