@@darrencookfishing7961 no problem bud

[@forestdavid8329]

Darren, Nice job. Do you want the mold 100% dry before you pour a 2nd weight? Certainly dont want any water in your lead pot, but unsure of lead going into a damp mold. Thanks

[@darrencookfishing7961]

Yes, get rid of any moisture between pours.

Hi Darren, Do you lube up the inside of the tube to aid getting the lead out once it has hardened? I have just tried to do this and am struggling to get the bugger out!!

[@darrencookfishing7961]

No lube but the tube needs to totally free of dents and I pull it out of the water with gloves so its still pretty hot. I have stuck a few in the past tho, good luck with it.

Where do you get the lead from? Awesome video. maybe include what material you will need in another video!

[@darrencookfishing7961]

Hi Darron, wherever I can mate. From scrap metal yards to friends that replace rooves.

Will this work with copper tube? Great tutorial.

[@darrencookfishing7961]

I don't think so. Copper retains heat where ally cools very quickly but you could give it a go.Thanks

[@willo777u]

Nice one. What’s your aprox length to weight?

[@darrencookfishing7961]

Cheers, 350mm is approx 3kg.

[@r.bouth.6457]

Hahaha.. I did think the lead will stay stuck in that pipe bud it did not.. What is the weigh of that long fishing lead in kilo ? I have Maine also bud they are thcker in diameter and I won't then thinner so to travel better to sink straight in deep watter

[@darrencookfishing7961]

Yes that would work well. It's 3 kg

[@levihua1980]

How heavy is that sinker?

[@darrencookfishing7961]
