I got a call a hour or so ago from a friend I go fishing with
He called to confirm the details on a bass fishing trip he invited me on next spring
2 Weeks fishing 3 areas
But the one sort of bad thing
2 of the places we are going to be fishing has gone Lead Free
So no lead worm weights , lead jig heads , Spinner baits or even in a factory plug
He said they check everyone
So as I am making a lot of my own lures
I need to either buy a lot of new lures or use 100% non toxic metals
For the jig heads and spinner bait heads , we are planning on casting Bismuth
Worm weights , another guy I fish with turns brass worm weights
For most of the plugs I carve , I can switch to steel shot as it is not seen
BUT I pour several different internally weighted plastic lures and I am also making a hollow epoxy plug
These lures you can see the weights and are designed for larger dia. weights
Right now I use lead and paint it most of the time
I figure I will have to switch to steel , as the molds I bought were designed to use steel balls
So I would like to find a source of 1/8" to 5/16" chrome (or close ) low cost steel balls
Any ideas ?
Thanks
John
