A little larger....

These are a little larger than the 1/32 heads I am accustomed to pouring. At 12 pounds these eclipse that 3" bait resting on the one.

Did you pour those? They will make a ton of 1/32 ounce jigs!CF

Yep. My buddy and I decided to run the 12 pounders on Lake Superior this season so I got the mold and went to work. I have a couple 5 gallon pails full of wheel weights to use to make them. My buddy has another 5 gallon of weights too. When we get them all cast up they'll go to a shop that sprays the Rhino Lining stuff and each will get covered with it and then allowed to cure for a couple weeks before we get them rigged for service.

Wow. The CTom foundry. I bet those are hard and dangerous to pour.

Have You Got a ladle that big????? Those are heavy! CF

The mold is super stable and won't tip when pouring so things are really quite well controlled. I melt and clean the lead from the wheel weights on a propane three burner stove salvaged from a ice fishing shack....I just hook the stove up to a 25 pound gas bottle. The melting is done in a 3 quart cast iron sauce pan. When I get about 4" of liquid lead in the pan after cleaning the slag and other metals from it I just glove up and use the handle of the pan to control the pour into the mold. Works real slick.

The pot is the ladle! That's big time pouring baby! Cool stuff. CF
