Morning, all....

Need a good location for lead for sinker casting? Since I've been
unable to find a source of 2-1/2 lb sinkers without swivels I am deciding
to purchase a sinker mold and pot and cast them myself. However, need
a good and reasonable source of lead. Any help appreciated. I have
considered purchasing heavier lead sinkers and melting them down.
I previously used pigs for monotype machines to cast sinkers and
sometimes spent type. Don't know how many hot metal shops still
exist using lead pigs.

Old lead balance weights from a tire store.

Right on, I buy them for 10 cents a pound at the local tire store

Thank You, Gentlemen...

Great idea, never thought of it. Will stop by one or more of my local tire
shops tomorrow. Appreciate the help.
