You can use their moulds to make your own lead weights at home and save a
fortune on shop prices.

I do hope that no-one uses Lead weights, the damage they do to wildlife is
untold ! I shall admit that I don't know of a suitable alternative !

In the sizes this spammer advocates there's no problem - but I shsn't be
buying from him.

I very much doubt that anyone in a Game fishing group is likely to use them
either, though I can be reeducated !

Plenty of uses for weights when game fishing, if they are over an ounce then
lead is legal. TBH that is a bit large and would only be common when
uptrace of a spring devon (or maybe worming) on a big river.

Cheerio,
