Looking for lead crankbait weight.

Recommended Posts

Scott,

Most of us make our own weights. There are a number of options available some are:

egg sinkers and stainless steel cotter pins

eggs sinkers and home bent wires

simple split shot crimped on a wire would also work.

I use a bottom bouncer mold and pour the lead without the wire.

others have made their own molds from bondo. use the search function and you will find a number of options and ideas.

If you have a roofing supply company close you can buy lead sheets in 5 lb rolls. I recall them being cheaper than trying to buy lead from a specialty shop. It cuts with scissors, it is used for pipe flashing on a asphalt roof. Lowes might have it if you go to the roofing section and ask for lead flashing. Or go on top of a building with a built up roof and remove their pipe flashing, when their roof leaks tell me and I will send a crew. Yes, I run a roofing company.
