RayburnGuy Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 The only ones I know of are at LPO, but they only come in 2 to 6 gram weights. If your wanting something larger you may have to pour your own. If you decide to build your own Gene has a tutorial on how to build a mold in the Hard Bait How To section.

SW Lures Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 You can try jannsnetcraft also. LPO is a sponsor tho. All I know about are in grams like Ben has stated, which to me is the best. The small weight gives me a chance to put them in different location, starting with the weighted belly hanger. Then of course I make my own regular weights in the same increments. I have found that I can buy the weighted hangers easier then to make them. Any upward swing in prices could change this. I have found that winter is the time to design and "crank" the baits out. Although evenings and bad weather days works to. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 For belly weighted hangers that big, I've use egg sinkers with sst wire pushed up through them (I've used sst cotter pins, too) and then bent the tag ends back down over the opposite end. Once you epoxy them in, they hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I meant to post the link in the reply. Sorry about that. Had a Homer Simpson moment.
