Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 10, 2012 Super User Posted February 10, 2012 Hoping someone here has a mold. They passed a law making it illegal to use any weighted jigs or hooks with lead, under 1 oz.. Looking for someone to melt some bismuth/tin, to make us some "legal" swimbait hooks! Will be happy to reimburse you for your time, materials and shipping. Specifically looking for 3/8 - 1/2 oz. weights on a 5/0 or 6/0 hook; with or without the spring plastic attachment. If anyone knows of a retailer offering these non-lead type swimbait hooks, please do let me know! We are getting desperate here in the screwed up state! I am not looking for the expensive tungsten type either. Owner offers those at ridiculous prices. It's going to be expensive enough replacing all our jigs, sinkers and lures (we can't even use RoadRunners anymore or crappie jigs!). Thank you for any help/suggestions. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I can do this but the biggest I can make is a 5/0 in 1/4 oz. This would really weigh about 3/16oz in the tin/bis. Quote
