My favourites are the ones I find still attached to their rigs stranded along the high tide mark of one of the local beaches. That's one good thing about the holiday makers I guess.

 

[Dutchman]

Any that i find.

Never bought one in my life.

 

[Dutchman]

you'll end up like Beach he's been using the same sinker for 30 years ?

I lost a rig on a snap off first cast a couple of years ago. the tide was going out and i found it later on.

 

[Dutchman]

did you sleep peacefully that night ?

Oh yes, i had to paddle a bit for it.

 

[codsucker]

Skm at 5.5 ounce great leads great moulds

 

[jackjock]

Same as codsucker

Never use anything as heavy as @grinner. Rarely use anything over 4oz. Last batch I bought came from the Tackle stall in the local market. I was going to order some from Dustybin but it wasn't viable with the cost of the carriage for the small quantity I needed.

Maybe because I fish off sandy ground and never lose them unlike grinner who gets a crack off every 3rd cast 15 all, your service

 

[Mr Fish]

Whatever I pick up that isn’t too expensive tbh ??‍

 

[Mr Fish]

Need to do an order with Dusty at some point...

 

[Beach]

can have half a dozen of these that'll see you out?

I make my own from 2 - 4oz breakaway and plain, nice offer though

I just use my mates lol don't matter if I lose them. Then I provide the bait so it evens out.

 

[Mr Fish]

lead ! perks of the job for me luckily

Not something I ever see. Wouldn’t be cost effective for me to make them, easier just to buy a few here and there.

I have loads of scrap lead, one my neighbours is in the roofing business so get mine for free and give him a few made up leads as a swap.

 

[Chrisbl]

Make my own, have for years. Advantage of being a plumber is free lead.

 

[Thrasher]

I have never thought of having a favourite and just bought whatever was available in the shop I was in at the weight I wanted.

Bought a load from Dusty at the backend of last year, SKM with the almost embeded wire loop, not had the opportunity to use them yet.

I've got loads of 5 and 6oz skm leads sat needing wires adding, it's the most boring bit! haha, made about 30kg worth about 18months ago, then made the switch to braid.
I near enough stopped losing lead as soon as I made the switch.

Maybe I should flog a few on gumtree....

Or put some on here bacon. I usually put the wires in the mould before pouring lead in.

Be OK to sell them locally on Gumtree & avoid the postage, but I found with Dustybin, if you don't want a large quantity, the shipping makes it unviable due to the 'weight' - pun intended!
