Title: Sinkers?????
Post by: pikeking on Mar 20, 2008, 08:00 PM

Anyone have any sinkers that they want to get rid of? All we can get here is non-lead sinkers and they suck. Gotta use twice as many and they are too shiney. PM me if you can help.

You could go to a gun range and ask for some of the lead out of the traps and make your own.  However, they will be real shiny when they are first made, so you would have to find a way to tarnish them.

Tarnish by putting the sinkers in a bag w/ a little bit of water.Oxidation.
