  • grip leads

    i have made a few boat weights/rippers etc

    but might be branching out to grip leads

    do you use dummy wires in the holes,and pull em out when the lead is cast

    Yes, use a thicker guage wire than your grip wires, and pull em out with pliers, wd40 stops the wires sticking.
    Stay safe!
    Enjoy your fishing!

      It's best to use wires a mill bigger than your grip wires if you can , and pull them out when the lead has set (seconds really)
      Enjoy mate its easy and ya can knock loads up
      I am a fisherman !
      It is not merely something that I do
      It is who I am !
      Fishing is not simply my escape.
      It is where I am supposed to be.
      It is not a place that I go
      But a lifelong journey that I am taking
      It is a passage that was shown to me and that I will continue to show others.
      When you understand all of this you will then know me .
      And we will fish together

                    I just use the same gauge wire as I use for the grippers. Smoke them in a candle flame before you start to stop them sticking. Pull them out with pliers when the mould has just set.

                    If the holes are a bit tight when the sinker is cold (to combat this, don't pull the wires out too soon), just twist a wire into the hole with a bit of hand pressure to open it out a bit.
