My new clam shell or split shot mold …

Been having fun yesterday making up 1/4:oz splitshots seeing guys tend to like these Big boys for live scoping,,,,meet me know if anyone needs some,,,,, they came out pretty nice…

Nice work!

Those look awesome

Thanks y’all…got a good deal on the mold,,,it does 1/4 and 3/8 oz splitshots,,,I need the smaller mold as well for later,,,but for now,,, 1/4oz is what the doctor ordered….

Split shot can be hard to find for sure. A mold isn't a bad idea

hey bud. Stay with the softest lead your willing to buy. Wheel weights and scrap lead can be tough to pinch on line. plus hard lead with foreign material in it can damage line.

Thanks grumpy,,,,

Nice! sold mine a few years ago after they changed the law banning them. Have to have Tin or lead free now.

Fat man,,, you still could have made them using the same molds,,,, just different materials,,,next they’ll be banning the use of gas stoves,,,,lol

I wonder how much heavier would these be than a #3 removable split shot ?

Not sure les,,,,this is a #3 splitshots which weighs 1/4oz

Ok thanks.

If you have used a mold to make lead sinkers and then make out of lead free such as tin , will lead from the mold show up on the tin sinker?

I would t think so Eddie,,,they clean up pretty well,,m,
