See waht you get for thinking?

Yesterday while I was up at the lake fishing, between reeling them in (sometimes quite an interval), I was thinking about lead of course, and here is what popped into the old melon. I have a great time casting 45 hp's for the ol' 45, why not kill a couple of birds with the same rock? Just drill the hp through and use some of them for sliding sinkers, I mean why not?

See even old coot types can come up with a semi-original thought once in a while.

You know, that ain't a bad idea!

That is a great idea. 230 grains will send that line to the bottom in no time. (providing you bottom fish like me, love those big 'ole cats)

I can cast fishing sinkers as fast as I can cast boolits.
I even use the same equipment and techniques.
what's really cool is I use old fishing sinkers I find at the lake, and old boolits I find at the range to do it.
