Anybody know where I can but a pot, sinker and jig molds, lead, etc. locally? Don't want to have it shipped.
Thx.

If you cant get the lead for free or have the things to make it it may be cheaper to buy sinkers. unless you plan on loosing a ton of lead, barlow tackle has everything you would need but its a mail order place. If your looking to have sinkers made and can get lead Id be happy to maqke them up for you providing theres some in my bucket at the end. t^

When Mac's on Rt 35 in Neptune (near Shark River) reopens you can check there. He has a great selection of molds and several pots, etc. He is presently closed due to damage from Sandy. Don't know when he will reopen.
You can also take BigAl up on his offer. A whole lot easier and less time consuming. TT^

That's nice of you Al. I'll talk to you on the 9th.

Or you can try Shark River Mail Order...Lots of molds...
But like Al said...If your not looking to make a ton of sinkers your better off buddying up with some here...

there is a add in the fisherman magazine bank sinkers 10 cents per oz. I bought a bunch last year no problem. 732-814-1081

Suffering from " Lead Weight Sticker Shock" when you went to replace all of the lead you stuck on the bottom yesterday John? The stuff adds up. I prefer to buy them from low cost from low cost sellers, the same ones who supply some of the tackle shops . I did consider making my own, but aside from the initial outlay for all of the stuff, I was concerned about the toxicity of the fumes from the molten lead. I'l

Closed due to Sandy thats Macs the same place Joe talked about

I lost about 4 lbs on Sunday! And I don't mean off my waist either! cfzd. I'm going to get into togin'. I like being outdoors all year so I don't mind the weather, I want to fish and the fillets are delicious.
the cost of sinkers is ridiculous, Especially for the flat kind that's best for tog. I can see making them myself....and maybe some jigs too.
-
John I will say one thing about making the jigs Im not sure if you want to make bucktails or ava types both both require much more than just lead
-
With the cost of getting set up with the molds of various styles and sizes, the melting pot and the blocks of lead, I can't imagine it's cost effective for most casual anglers.
-
whs my point exactly. If you get to any flea markets you usually can get some good deals
-
Fred these are the sinkers Im talking about
-
Fred these are the sinkers Im talking about
Gold ingots? I'll take em!! LOL

Actually a lot of the lead i use is old shower pans and seals from cast iron, it does contain some gold just not enough to try and get out
-
The flat sinkers cost the same to make as the regular bank sinkers so they should sell for the same price. Same amount of lead to make a certain size sinker, just shaped different.
You can try Sam The Sinker Man (201) 368-8751 if you want to purchase already made sinkers. He will even deliver them to you. This is from 2010, don't know his current prices but you can bet it's a lot cheaper than elsewhere.

Right Joe I was just showing Fred the mold I have for bigger sinkers ;D
-
is there really any advantage of doing this? I just stock up on Dick's coupons when I'm in FL and use them through out the year for those small things. on a side note, if you go and buy the least expensive item at Dick's, go home and do the online survey. At the end, you print out a $10off of $50 purchase. It does add up to some good savings and I run through a ton of tackle.

I'll second the flea market recommendation. Some great deals to be had, but also know your prices .

Me too Al...
I have literally hundreds of pounds in my garage....
-
Some good places mentioned in previous post as far as locations in buying the molds.
Determine what weight sinker you usually use (and Lose)then buy that mold first. Many molds come with two or three diferent size sinkers in the same mold.Some production molds just have one size for example all 6oz, or 8 oz. Some all pyramid some all bank.Pour the sinkers OUTDOORS only. Cool weather a few cold beers and bucket full of lead should do the trick on a Saturday morning.Good Luck and Enjoy.
