Sturgeon Sinkers


Recommended Posts

Appreciate the offer Ralph, it is very nice work. Ill just stick with my plain old pyramids. I lose soo many of them I should put my id on them as a calling card when people explore the riverbed 3000 years from now smile. Or better yet simple proverbs.

On a more serious note what do you use for stock lead? Last year I used a 25 Lb bag of BB reload shot. It was really clean and didnt have to skim alot...kept my smelter at a nice even temp and could churn through the casting till my mold hinges about siezed up from the temps.

Yes thats all I would ever want some guy calling me in the middle of the night I can just see it now. " Mister Slowhand I am calling to tell you I have your little sinkers in my hands. Where can I meet you to return them to there rightful place. laugh "

crazy Good point.

I should clarify that a friend of mine did the engraving work in that mold.

I don't have my own pouring set-up. I was at StillwaterAaron's house with a bunch of guys making sinkers. He had buckets full of tire weights for lead.
