Hi guys,
Chasing some sinkers, you can buy 5kg boxes off eBay for a good price but have to pay delivery haha.
anyone selling on know where to get some, looking at 8, 12, and 14oz Sinker.

Make your own.
You can buy lead for about $2.70 per KG (that is what I paid last time) from the scrap metal company.
Buy a few moulds and pour your own.
I started doing that when I use to take 3 kids fishing.
Use to be an expensive trip till I made my own

Hi there,
Sometimes there is a guy at the Rapid Creek market who sells some home made ones.
From memory his price was rather good.
But I don't really bait fish so I wouldn't really know.
Have a good day,
Pecheur

I made a heap last year. Make sure it's in a ventilated area. The more we drank the less we cared but I recon a few brain cells were killed that's for sure
