Sinkers

[ffemtreed]

I say ticket me for using lead....its gotta be cheaper than casting off a tungsten 8oz

Civil Disobedience --- I love it!!!!

Of course it doesn't weigh near lead, but concrete would work. I use it for large yakked-out baits.

Add this to the discussion here, if the Regulatory agencies move to go to non-lead sinkers how about the lead heads for jigs and lures? we will be talking about this for a while.

[Steve]

Any type of sinking lure, jig, etc.
Lead period...
At least that in MY understanding.

You guys are getting close to the old addage,"what weighs more? a ton of lead or a ton of feahters?"

I saw your post on saltwater experience about this, interesting.....
But 3/4" steel pipe isn't very aerodynamic.

Your right Steve but how areodynamic is a mullet(even properly rigged) or a slab of bunker? You could do a little
"shop work" on the conduit peices and install a split ring to accomodate a swivel or a hole crimp your sinker line through and crimp a loop on the other end at varying lenghts. HELL, I'll make some up and field test them then get back to you!Should be good to go by the weekend!

Just cut some conduit peices,i have got to lay my hands on a scale for weight comparisons but while in the welding lab i had another steel idea. 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" plate cut to a more areodynamic shape. I have the shop here at work to try and fab these up, it will take some time but I'm on it!
