I'm still making sinkers but now I have added a new mold for pyramids to my collection....The egg sinker..no-roll and the pyramid seem to be the three most popular sinkers for saltwater fishing so I bought all three.

I have the bank sinker mold. I don't think I'm going to make any sinkers up this year as I still have plenty of them left.

Remember to becareful and have a well ventilated shop to make sinkers...I use a big shop fan to pull in fresh air...That stuff is toxic....Wear gloves and take your time bacause lead can burn the hell out of your skin.

Your right Greg, that stuff is bad for you unless you take proper care while using it. cheers
