cheers phil, it's not a hard job by any means and you also have the option to mix and match to whatever lakebed you're fishing over if you want to take it a bit further ;)

i know what you mean phil, its expensive when you have to dump them all the time, if you do your own a couple of 4 in 1 moulds will cover almost everything, it cost me about £40-£50 quid to get started with one mould but I ended up buying more to cover all options, its an expensive outlay but if you go through them at the rate you are you'll soon be making savings...plus you can sell a few if needed :)

Mark Carp where can I order moulds that will be shipped to the usa

not sure rob, I got my moulds from ebay, it might be worth emailing a uk seller to find out how much the shipping will cost?, you can always make that back by selling a few on when you've made them 👍

Is it expensive mark to start making your own leads ?

no billy it's not expensive mate, a lead mould is £17-£20 on ebay, you'll need a pan to boil the lead in, some heat resistant gloves, swivels or lead inserts depending on the type of lead you want to make, and a face mask for breathing, a file, a pair of cutters from trimming off the funnel, I don't have a mask but I make mine outdoors in the garden so it's not too bad for ventilation...and some lead coating powder, it cost me £50-£60 to set myself up and it's all available on ebay👍

@@billywalker8581 cheers billy👍 I would also add that you can do the odd lead order to recoup the outlay, I made leads for a few people until i'd paid for the equipment, it's a crappy job making them though so I wouldn't want to do it for a living. the lead comes from the local scrap yard cheap👍

Just seen ure inline leads...do u sell em.
