I used these with the Team Catfish weight slides to make a czcams.com/users/postUgkxdmsDj7fQXe77DC0l7P7ua8B3PiESUubM Carolina rig and they were perfect for the ponds I fish. I have also used them to make 3 way rigs and these work perfectly. Haven't had any issues with them snagging in rocks or in weeds yet.
If you "smoke" your aluminum mold it will release easier. To do this just light a candle and hold the mold upside down over the candle the smoke from the candle will coat the mold and make the lead release easier. Take it from a old muzzleloader!
A lot of ppl told me that last video too lol . And that's a good idea . I figured the way it was shaped it would release ok .
I pour a lot of lead,from splitshots to jigs and never needed to "smoke" any of my molds.Get them hot 1st, and keep them hot.I'll pour 10-15 pours before starting my pours for keepers.If I get up and walk away to do something I'll pour it and let it sit on top of the pot till I get back,then I'll pour a few more till it's hot again.Never had a problem with them sticking or only partially forming doing this.
@@FishinNStuff You can make pyramid sinkers easily with just a coffee can and moist sand.fill the can with the moist sand and push the sinker into it and remove.Now you have the right cavity to pour your new pyramid.
I use to use spark plugs back in the 90s when we would rub out of sinkers . Man now I'm feelin nostalgic
Your videos are always so interesting and reminds me of stuff that my friends and I would have tried back in high school because none of us had jobs but we all loved to fish! Thanks for reminding us that the backyard engineer is still just as valuable as the 4+ year degree holder. I can't wait to make some of these sinkers and some of your other DIYs!
Thank you Sir, i appreciate that . I buy stuff too , but being creative is just in our blood i guess lol
Couple of ideas . As others mentioned, use a lit candle to "smoke" the inside of the mold with soot to help it release. 2. Use 14 gauge copper wire and make your own clips. I make them in an omega shape and they never come out. 3. Try rock hard putty to make a casting of the actual pyramid sinkers. You have to take a file and take off the embossed number and make sure it is pretty true before you put it in the putty. grease the weight or candle it to get it to pop out of the putty once it sets up. I use a scribe to put the number back on the weight after casting.
BTW the silicone mold was a great idea. I'm going to try that.
Thank you brother, the Rock hard putty is a good idea too 👌
My dad used to melt lead wheel weights in the 1950's and had a lead soldier mold.
This was before safety equipment was invented LOL He used to make explosives in his grandpa's shop too. It's amazing the kind of stuff that 70 year olds made back then.
I grew up the same way . I want introduced to hearing protection until I got a job in 1985 . Before that we ran chain saws , shot guns and everything else . I think safty equipment is a great thing don't get me wrong . But safty equipment abs hand sanitizers have also make everyone a little over the top in alot of ways . I'm going to be as safe as possible but I'm not going to be a prisoner of fear either .
Keep up the good work governor we like to save money
Great results. I was surprised that lead lure came out good. Keep bringing the humour, it puts a smile on my face.👍🙂
Hysterical and useful all at the same time! One of the best things on CZcams!
Thank you brother
Nice endless way to make sinkers.
They look so cool and I bet a shiny penny that because they round they won't get stoked as much!
Good Stuff from Fishin N Stuff! I like the magnet trick!
Tire shops used to be my main lead supply but every shop now has people asking for lead. I was a trap and skeet shooter so I have sacks of bird shot I had on hand and use it these days. Gun clubs often sell used shot for a low price, it's reclaimed.
I bought a round or cannonball type mold in 8 and 10 OZ for deep water fishing. If I put the brass Eye on the narrow end of the step drill mold the weight would be perfect for deep water Ling Cod fishing. Even the wooden mold would work. We don't care about pretty!!
I like watching your videos as I'm working on my fishing.......ie.......THINGS lol,. Everything you do is so helpful, and funny, no matter what you do, say, or work on, you always make sense. Especially with your PPE lol, God Bless you brother.
Thank you very much
Handy tip for a tightarse like me: when you cross the road at the lights keep your eyes on the ground. The little lead weights from tyres fall off all the time. I haven't paid for lead in years.👍
That's a good tip 👌
jake elwood most tire shops will allow you to come get the tire weights that they have removed from vehicles for free or a small price as well
Remember, a large amount of tire weights now are mostly zinc.
Great vid, good times... I have completed watching all of you're videos, you have great style!!
AWESOME video! I like sturgeon fishin on the Columbia river in Washington state. I HATE how expensive it is to buy fishing weights! The idea of using a step drill to make the cavity for a mold is pure genius!
Thank you brother I appreciate that
Everytime i watch these videos i always hit the like button before i even watch it and never fail to learn something
Good video, man was messing with some lead and found out you can pour molten lead in those aluminum bread pans for ingots if you can get a good mold for them
Man, that looked too much a hassle, time consuming , tools I don’t have. thank you for make me realize that the price I paid for sinkers and stuff, totally worth,it.
You welcome lol
Fishin N Stuff I sincerely thank you!, Kudos for your videos!
@@expomm thank you for watching
“...and a lead lure!” Lol. Cool diy video 👍
I would have lost money thinking the molten lead would have melted the silicone mold🤔🤔. Great Video!
Silicone is some tough stuff , i know it can withstand some high heat but i want sure if the high heat kind just foods higher or not i guess i was right lol
Great idea , I pour a lot of spinnerbaits and jigs . If you want the lead to release from the aluminum mold easier , you just soot the mold with a candle . Hold the mold over a lit candle flame and let the soot blacken the cavity . The lead will release pretty easy !!
I've heard that , i just figured the way it was shaped it would come out easy . It got better after the first one
Nice video! I love the nod to Tom Lipton🎶I like Ox tools too.
Love it. Great idea. Thanks for sharing
I use 2.5 electrical cable scrap pieces. The single core type, it bends easily using narrow pliers and doesn't rust. I'm still using ones I made years ago for sea fishing
another great video ! keep them coming some funny stuff in the morning with my coffee
Thank you Sir 😊
The minute I saw the notice from you the picture showed the sinker I knew how it was made, good thinking
I figured most ppl would lol
What a great idea.. Thanks buddy.
Back in the day me and my dad would make our molds out of mud, once we shaped the hole in the mud and let dry. Worked great
Great stuff, man. I love watching your videos.
I appreciate buddy
Love this sinker mold idea thanks
simply, clever.
good job.
Always an excellent production. Thanks for the heavy tips!
Yes Sir thank you for watching em
Dude you just saved me so much money I have so much lead sinkers laying around and need big sinkers for some ocean fishing I did the wood with the step but turned out better then I expected
My guess is, the wooden mold will get better by time and repeated use. The layer of charcoal will act as a protective layer/insulator which will make the mold smoother and reduce further burning provided that it's not removed or worn out. The wooden mold is also cheaper and can be made from any scrap wood for virtually nothing. Good video, thanks for the idea.
J'ai vu une vidéo d'un homme asiatique ( Thaïlande il me semble ) , qui fesait toute forme de moule dans des pommes de terre.
Inconvénients la pomme de terre étant humide il y a des petites projection .
Mais les moule sont simplisme à faire, par exemple au couteau croche on peut faire des plomb en forme de dôme .
J'ai essayé c'est génial, un coup de mèche à bois et hop! Des plomb drop.
Great idea . Going to save me a bunch of money .
Thanks for watching
Great video. Just an FYI. I did this using sand for the molds when I was about 15. When you really don't have much money, use paper clips for the "eyes"/attachment points. Works great and super cheap. They last forever in fresh water and surprisingly long in salt.
Great idea, I been making the triangular sinkers, this is so much easier....thx for the video
I welded a triangle mold from angle iron. It works good
I made my moulds from plaster of paris. Quick and cheap. Just be careful as they can spit the first time or 2 from moisture
Same here! 😂
One thing about the wood mold is if you burn the mold 1st, it'll release easier. One thing about your mod, the unfortunate thing is is that these will roll where a pyramid won't. Great idea tho Rod!
They will roll but the most important part of the pyramid weight is the wide section at the top
Man that is ANOTHER great idea.I really like this channel very cool diys.Also for those who don't know make sure you use the proper mask with the purple filter not just a dust mask.
Thank you buddy
I enjoyed the video, but hate the ads. I will continue to watch your videos, because they are very informative.
CZcams is putting em in everyone's videos now . Its not me . If a video is over 10 mins they put em in the Middle automatically. Ive got if figure out how to remove em . It's something they just started i think
@@FishinNStuff yeah they are putting ads in the videos, but what they don't realize is alot of us will just skip the whole video all together, which isn't fair to you. But as I said I enjoy your videos, so I will just mute the ads and skip them as soon as possible.
Great video I make silicone molds for lead out of silicone out of a tube mixed with baking soda it turns out like dough you can form it into the shape you want then press the sinker into it let it dry pull out then use I wish I was close to the scrap yard you use you all ways find the best metal keep up the good work
I've seen ppl use it from a tube before . The scrapyard near my house separates the good metal too sell instead of scrapping all of it . Plus they will order you new metal if you ask em too
Interesting... so you just use silicone caulk & mix it with baking powder and use that to form your mold?
Yeah , you can also squeeze it into water . And need it under water but wear gloves either way , there's a lot of videos on the subject
@@RealRuler2112 yes I got the idea from utube search silicone mold making
@@FishinNStuff sounds like a great scrap yard
Very nice video, I've been making molds by pressing a red hot ball bearing between 2 slabs of wood or milling a piece of aluminum, I never thought of a step drill, very cool looking sinkers!
Thank you Sir
Always love your tips, went straight out, drilled a step bit whole an wallah!! Thanks for the great video!
Mine in the wood turned out awesome, took old jigs and lead and made a brand new~ 2oz pyramid sinker!
That's awesome
Looks like you can use high heat silicone to make any type of sinker you like. Just make a mold of it. Very cool.
That was pretty cool! Good ideas!
That is pretty cool. Will be making one. Need something to do while its to hot to fish.
Stay safe and be blessed
You too brother
It gets too hot to fish????
@@williamquillin2514 lol . I think it does . That's when I night fish
Once again Mate!! You’ve Nailed IT....... Brilliant, thank you once again for putting the Time into making the Video keep’em Coming and Keep Safe!
You half crazy and half genius!!!
Hahahaha
Cuz, I’d have to say that was a GREAT VIDEO.
Awesome videos glad I come across them
I'm glad you did too 😊
that dross you are skimming off is mostly the additives for hardness. If you put a small amount of wax to the hot lead stir it in and light the smoke that comes off and all that will be left in the lead is a small amount of ash to skim off. makes the lead pour better edges on what ever you are pouring.
Love your ideas! Keep them coming!
Very interesting!
Who is this guy,,,he’s an inventor in my book, great videos!
Thank you Sir I appreciate it , you'll like the one I'm getting ready to post in a couple hours its kind of the same subject
I pour plaster of Paris into a cigar box. Put the sinkers you want to make into the wet plaster and let it dry. Pull out the sinkers and you have your mold. I drill holes of different diameters into the remaining dry plaster. These make great drop shot sinkers. You can use it over and over again.
That's a great way of doing it
Great idea is good
Cracking zinkers. If you cut wood in half or the alloy then clamp them toghter and then drill the hole. You will have no trouble getting weights out can also put the eye in the pointed end 😜
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁🤞✌️
Great Video brother! Happy Fishing!
very good video
Nee friends here from Trail Trash Outdoors! Always down to reuse and recycle!! Thanks for the tips🤠🤙
Btw silicone starts melting after 300°
Always great ideas!
Also to save more money hangers cut into little pieces work good as the eye loop in the homemade lead sinkers!
Good idea
I have been make those weights for 5 year really like them. Brass work great and I have them out aluminum as well
Avoid the fumes
I use wood mold for my spider weights. Works great, used same mold to pour 7 of them.
I pour my own sinkers. This is one awesome video. My pyramid mold is on its last season cuz it's very old. So making a new one might be what's next on my to-do list. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thank you brother , that sink really did turn out awesome
Use a candle to soot up a mold helps with pouring smooth and the release as well. I hear my molds with a heat gun before I pour. It’s always handy since I use it for powder painting.
Good tip
Another awsome idea thank you !
Hey Keith I think all of your DIY stuff is awesome seeing both of your sink or mold videos would really like to see you do you an egg sink or mold, want to see your idea on one
As always nice job
Awesome video man!! Great stuff!
With the the wood you start smaller and they get a little bigger but once it is charred the carbon slows the burn. I take a pyramid sinker and a bucket of fine sand with a little motor oil mixed in and stick the weight in 5 or 6 places with toothpicks holding the eyes in the middle. Reform holes each cast. Love cheap weight ideas thanks.
Really enjoy your videos. Always check it out when the email arrives.. Keep up the good work!!
I got a friend that uses them wire hangers for the sinker loops. Works like a charm.
the cheapest and best is old wheel lug nuts, just add a piece of wire to get your hoop and drop a little led in the center! boom!
I remember when there was a shortage of lead from mining so to make sinkers in south america , so my dad went to my uncle`s auto shop and got a bucket of used spark plugs and we used those as our weights for a while !
Really love your Intro Bro'...."soooo stick around".
Lol thank you
I love the videos man keep it up🎣🎣
Great video!
That's a cool video
Thank you Sir
Thanks for the new ideas!! You could also try using a small container with damp sand and just use the shapes you’d like and make your impressions. My grandpa used to make his own weighted treble hooks to snag big ol mullet back then
Your right . That's a great way to make stuff . I just like the permanent molds because I don't have to fix it back every time and it's a little faster . I was thinking about doing a video on that though
Fishin N Stuff I thought I’d just add that in there just in case some guys like me don’t have accessibility to drills and blocks of aluminum...love your videos! Keep them coming!
Thank you Sir
I have a sinker mold from 1/8 all the way to 4 oz . I get roofing lead , plumbers lead ,and old lead acid battery`s . I have sometimes found duck decoy lead on clearance 75% to 80% off after duck season . I also cast bullets too.
I'd love to find some of that duck.lead
Awesome video! I really appreciate this one! Been saving a lot of coin thanks to you, now even more so!
Try sand casting. Just push the point of the sinker into some tightly packed slightly damp sand, in a small box or even a plastic container. Remove the shaping tip carefully, and pour in your hot lead slowly. Add the wire stirrup before the lead solidifies. The sinker might be a bit gritty on the outside, but do the fish really care? Nah... they love it!
Thank you bro for not having political ads on your channel . Feels good man
Sometimes CZcams show political adds , i can't control what adds CZcams shows ( sorry man )
@@FishinNStuff ah it dont matter i love your content brother.
I was just letting you know , im getting comments on Biden adds , I don't like him either but only CZcams controls the adds
That's a cool idea right there
Thank you Sir
Good stuff, liked and subbed
Thank you
With the aluminum block you could drill all the way through and then make a bottom plate similar to your slip sinker mold. That would allow you to pour from the smaller end and make a back bouncing weight with a flat bottom.
That's a good idea
Dont give two bob about fishing but I loved your video. Your accent is amazing. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.
Thank you mate
@@FishinNStuff Youre a real bloke. Keep up the good work.Ooroo.
Man that's a couple great ideas. I made a wood mold before and it worked pretty good for a long time. Keep the videos coming brother. I'll text you later about an idea on another mold.
Thank you Sir I appreciate it
Very good
This is GREAT
IM WAITING FOR AN AIR POWERED BAIT LAUNCHING CANNON, LOVE THE CHANNEL
Believe it or not , ive been thinking about do it lol . I think the gas ones are illegal so I don't want to get ppl in trouble. But I was talking about that with a friend just the other day
You can save a little more money by making your own wire rings by using pliers to shape scrap wire you have laying around or even find on the streets. Like paper clips or even copper wire if concerned with rust. Instead of buying brass rings.
I agree , i started to use a paper clip but I knew someone would say I was going to rust . But honestly , I got mine for 2.80 for a 100 . And that's not that bad really . But your right still
As a youngster I would use plaster to cast sinker moulds. Would break down after some pours. Make sure it is dry. Also comment below about wetting wooden mould would be risky as steam builds up and molten lead spatters everywhere. cheers from an old fisho
Your right water and liquid lead don't mix
What an awesome video . Works really good. I really like the Srepbit sinker cause I catfish a lot . May I suggest using a #6 swivel in the top as a connector , ( you can set it up just like the connector you used ) and it will help in preventing Line Twist . As before ; Great Job , love your Hacks .
Yes Sir. Thanks for watching and commenting. Means a lot
Very awesome brother
