Howdy gents! Been a while since I have been on. I have several questions. I've in the past 2 months have done well selling crappie jig heads. Still using my Palmer II lead pot. Using #4 sickle hooks for 1/32oz and 1/16oz. Here are my questions

1. Want to upgrade to a bottom pour lead pot. L:ee the way to go? Thinking the 20 pounder.

2. Had some lead a friend give me. Melted it and it looked great till I had to break them free from the sprew. It was hard! Found out it was 60/40 (tin/lead). Anyone use the stuff? Mix it with soft lead to get a better softness?

3. I have a big cast piece of lead the says North Western on it. What I can find it from Europe and used in stain glass. One guy said he thought it was plumbers lead. Can it be used? Too soft?

Thanks
