Instead of them using the wheel weights to cast weights, I want to use the zinc weights as bait, to get those wheel weights away from them.
I'm hoping that me giving them pre-cast trot-line weights will induce them to trade me the wheel weights they do have.
That should give me some lead, and some more zinc to cast more fishing weights.
If the plan works.
Unless you have a better plan ?
