2007 Sinker Party

Well we had a smaller turnout and only molded between five and six hundred pounds of lead. Last year we molded about nine hundred pounds. I guess most fished less last season and did not need to replenish their inventory. I recently purchased snag molds and they worked out great. It seemed to be more popular than we thought and we ran out of hooks fast. The smaller spire point molds that I got did not work well. It seemed that the holes to pour the lead into were way too small. I have already milled them out a little and hopefully this will fix the incomplete pouring issues. It definitely was not a cold mold issue but more of a flow issue so that should be all fixed. We did get a handful of the smaller 1 ounce ones made and they look like they will be great for river and bay fishing or pitching to surface busting fish. Now it is on to painting, curing and tying all of them. That should keep me busy till fluke season starts this year even though it is much later.
