Make your own - Dryrod - 04-24-2006
[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Want to make your own sinkers? All you need is a piece of surgerical tubing, various lengths of soft lead wire core and a quick connector of your choice. Here are two different methods I use. Want to change the weight? No problem just relace the lead core with a longer or shorter piece.[/size][/green][/font]

It's funny you mention the latex tubing. Just the other day a guy I met was telling me he tied up one end of small latex tubing and filled it with bb's until it reached a desired weight, then he tied off the other side and attached a snap swivel. He said it was nearly impossible to get snagged, and if you did, the latex gave so much that you hardly ever lost a rig. You ever try a rig like that dryrod?

[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]I forgot to mention the fact that the setup I mentioned is also snag proof. Filling the surgical tube with BBs can be a slow process. Using the lead wire core just takes a second to install or remove. Adjusting the weight by using a shorter or longer piece of weight is a very practical method.[/size][/green][/font]
