🔩 Lead Ingots for Making Fishing Sinkers

Lead ingots are the raw material of choice for crafting custom fishing sinkers due to their density, malleability, and ease of casting. Here's what you need to know if you're planning to make your own:

🧱 Characteristics of Lead Ingots

• Material: Typically made of pure soft lead (99.9% lead), which is ideal for molding sinkers and lures.

• Shape: Often rectangular or brick-shaped for easy stacking and melting.

• Size: Commonly sold in 1-pound bars, though bulk options are available.

• Softness: Soft lead is preferred for sinkers like split shot or pinch-on types, as it bends easily and molds well.

⚙️ Why Use Lead Ingots?

• High Density: Ensures your sinkers are compact yet heavy enough to sink quickly.

• Low Melting Point: Makes it easy to melt and pour into molds using basic equipment.

• Customizability: Allows anglers to create sinkers in any shape or size to suit specific fishing conditions.

⚠️ Safety Considerations

• Lead is toxic. Always:

  • Wear gloves and a mask when handling or melting.

  • Work in a well-ventilated area.

  • Wash hands thoroughly after use.

  • Avoid ingestion or inhalation of lead dust or fumes.
