Flea Market today
« on: 07/13/14 14:37 UTC »
Hit the flea market today and picked up 2 whopper stopper hellbenders and one tiny torpedo - plus 2, 8 oz. bank sinkers for $5.  Sinkers aren't in pic as they already went in the lead bucket.

Nice find. That's almost as good as catching a big one!

I have two water tight containers in the garage - one has pure lead the other tire weight lead.  I have about 15 lbs. in a sealed coffee can that is a 2/l mix of 2 parts tire weight and one part pure and it pours well in all my molds, but all the other lead stays separated. 

I even have requests in with plumbers in the area if they come across old lead water pipes that I will take them so they don't have to pay to get rid of them. 

And I have enough wool to make lots of jigs right now and have all the colors the ladies have right now!!LOL

And in the meantime you have a mess of sheep running around with bald spots on their butts getting sunburned.

Ah!  The start of two hell-pet rigs.  Many a fish have been caught on those over the years.   A true poor man's downrigger.
