LEAD

[TC]

Anybody know what the current £ is for lead these days?........and mebbies recommend somewhere I can get some (in Shields preferably)?
I asked the same question about 3 years ago and whithin minutes of posting it, I had a phone call from one of the lads on NESA.....he very kindly gave me (what I thought at the time) was enough lead to last me for a fishing lifetime..........that was before I had been out on a boat fishing the wrecks....lol.

So really, I\'m still none-the-wiser as to the £ of lead and where to get it from.

I am also having problems getting cheap lead, with boat fishing i use/lose about 1 stone of lead a day lol not cheap when each lead is 8oz r 10oz each.

28 perks is one heluva amount to lose ritchie - how many do you actually take with you ,to carry on fishing the rest of the day - might just come down to the Quay one morning and start selling them - got 20 odd hanging in the garage ,they will never get used by me - puke every time i go on boat -
