Well we recently moved and there were some clogs somewhere I couldn't get to or find. Well the landlord sent the plumbers in and while shooting the s**t asked him if they ever came across any old lead piping.

He turns and looks at me "Reloader, Right??" Nope I pour fishing tackle. Well now if you come with me I might just be able to help you out. We go out to his truck and stacked up in 4ft lengths is old lead water piping. He tells me it's totally dry as they tore it out of an old deer hunting camp that was being re-built, roughly 400 pounds.

Then the fun part NEGOTIATION!!!!! How much for all of it?? He tells me well I could stand to restock my tackle box and my son's with 1/2 oz sinkers and jigs of all types. Well I went and got my storage box (I just packed all my stuff up for the move) and came back with all the made stuff. Traded 1000 jigs (ball, pony, minnow and tube - all sizes) and 200 1/2oz bank sinkers and GOT ALL 400 LBS.

I can re-pour the 1000 jigs easy. Only 400 of them were panfish jigs. Best part is I've got a source for pure lead piping whenever it shows up.

I CALL THAT A SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
