BobP Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I don't like to fish with shiny new lead weights because I think it introduces an unnatural element to a Texas rig plastics presentation. The easiest way to get rid of the shine is to dissolve 2 tea spoons of Oxyclean detergent in a warm glass of water. Dump in the weights and you will see their surface begin to bubble as the Oxyclean begins to oxidize the surface of the lead. Come back in a couple of hours, rinse off the weights and they'll be a dark gray color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
