Tie a few jigs and melted 72 pounds of wheel weights.
Tied multiples of each. Top jig is 5/8 oz for sauger. Second down from left is raccoon.
Didn't get a picture of the lead before I boxed it up, but it seems to pour a 1/32 roundhead jig just fine without adding any pure lead. :woohoo
Looking good ! Those sauger fry up well ! I sure wished I knew how to get into several messes of those! Or some walleye
Well when I go, I'll give you a holler.Quote:

Sweet jigs!
That's a lot of jigs. They look awesome
Really good job on jigs. Wheel weights are ok if not melted in the pour pot I think. There is just so many additives and hardeners depending on manufacturer that you don't know what you have until por day. Good job and I bet our cold is different to yours. We were minus 6 Yesterday morning.
Very nice!
Nice jigs, I have to tie some today, but not just yet. I did get up and take a pic of the sunrise on Toledo Bend today!

Wow, that's amazing. Very cool!
That's what I've always heard. My 10 pound Lee pot was purchased in 1986, and it has melted 100's of pounds of wheel weights. Still pours as good today as it did when I bought it. Just takes a long time to melt 60-70 pounds of tire weights, 1/2 to 1.5 oz at a time.Quote:

Some real nice ties, the tiny ones at about 9and 5 o’clock would get some play in my bluegill spot.
A few years ago I got into some real dirty lead, and I’m not sure where I got it. Had to disassemble and clean twice in just a few months. I have used a cast iron pot on the camp stove ever since. Once I do that I have no issues. I run my pot pretty hot so a lot of wheel weight issues haven’t bothered me.
Beautiful picture Skip! I haven’t gotten out in a little while and that makes me want to go TODAY!!!
Very nice ties! Skip beautiful sunrise.

I used to spend hours going through buckets of wheel weights at my local garage, but it was worth it! Never had had problems with them if they were checked, but do it outside and have a lid to put on top so if there is any moisture it hits the lid and not you!!
