fats69 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Okay I've been molding jigs and sinkers since I was 12 and now am older (not tellin) :. In Vermont they have passed laws saying you can't use sinkers under 1/2 oz unless they are lead free. We can still use jigs, weighted flies, lead core line etc. What materials are you folks that have had to switch using??? and where can you get the best prices??? I use Lee Production Pot IV's and lee says do not use zinc, copper, silver, gold, aluminum, pewter or brass in the pot. So I'd appreciated some ideas and places to get lead free stuff so I can keep pouring my own, plus NH and MA have some new lead lawas also, so I'd like one box for all my sinkers jigs etc that I can take anywhere and not have to worry about it. Thanks, Fats Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I've never tried it and I dont know if it would pour in a AL mold but bismuth is one. It melts around the same temp as lead I do believe maybe even less. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted August 6, 2008 Super User Posted August 6, 2008 Babbet is a great product when you can find it. The problem is its melting temp is around 1000° and I have to melt and ladel it. My lead pot won't get hot enough. Quote
