hello my fellow anglers, i need some tips on dipping weights,(powder coating), i have tried several times to powder dip my weights but i have had limited success. i am asking my fellow craftsman for some tips on this subject. the problems i am having is that either i do not get the weight hot enough or to hot in which allows to much powder to attach it self to it. sometimes i have some success but still they chip very easily.

what mojo had to say is right, i did not go out to make a mold to sell my weights, but just make it so that i the access to make them on my on. the style of my weights are simialer but not the same as mojo weights, plus i do not have to travel all the way to tackle stores to buy them, or place a order on-line. i also pour other weights i use as in bullet, and egg sinkers and i got those molds from netcraft. so rockhopper since i got your panties into a wad, let me say i am sorry if this up set you. i was tring to make my fishing easier on myself. i also am impressed with your style of hooks. tight lines and good luck

the reason i perfer mojo style wieghts is because it is less likely to get snaged, and also i have better feel on the bottom. one more thing it comes grass with ease. i know that other styles are on the market for instant the ones that bass pro shop has. but the thrill you get when you make something to help your fishing and you end up having success on it then a proud feeling developes.

sorry my fellow anglers i could not get the photo i have to post i will have to try later

i was tired of paying those high prices for mojo weights that i decided to make my on mold and see if i could come up with my own. i made a mold out of aluminum and was able to make two sizes, 1/2 and 3/4oz. they worked great and i was very pleased with the outcome. the ends are more rounded then a mojo and trust me a lot cheaper. I got my lead from a friend that was remolding a doctors offices x-ray room. so now i have more money to help put back for a bass boat and maybe one day i will have enough. i am posting a picture of the weights i pour, so let me know what you think. 3/4 on the left and 1/2 on the right. tight lines and good luck
