Odyssey Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I’m looking for a 6oz in line lead mould. (5,7 or 8oz fine too!) I know that Do-It do a 6oz and 8oz combined egg mould that’d be good but I can’t find a U.K. supplier and postage from us is about £50. Of anyone knows where I can find one in U.K. I’d love to hear about it! Drilled bullet, drilled bomb, egg shape not too important… just needs a hole down the middle of about 2-3mm…. @GPSguru do you know anyone in the tackle trade who could help? 🤔 Edited January 27, 2023 by Odyssey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malc Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Not sure what diameter breakout wires are? Remember to soot the wire in a candle first so it doesn't stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Hooks has been suggested, but IIRC they closed down after Mike passed away in 2021. ShoreCast Solent, do a 6oz inline pear lead, about £20 for 10, it is in their carp fishing section. Inline carp leads are pretty popular now, as that is all a lot of venues allow, the leadclip and tail rubber are not considered fail safe any more. They also do Barrel leads to 4oz, but pierced bullets only go to 2oz I think if it were me, then I would pour a bunch of 6oz cannon balls but without the loop, and then just drill them with a 3mm drill bit.

suzook12 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Why not use one of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282379267597?chn=ps&var=581507210696&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=581507210696_282379267597&targetid=1405062617979&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9044871&poi=&campaignid=17218284410&mkgroupid=142217514411&rlsatarget=pla-1405062617979&abcId=9300867&merchantid=7390514&gclid=CjwKCAiArNOeBhAHEiwAze_nKJUOgexI3b_ao_twOhCBBJNqInDOeeTw9a_x15FSOQEFCRacQ2yl4RoCMbsQAvD_BwE Drill either end to take a tube size of your choice. You could even put a ptfe bush in each end of the tube to protect your line, or glue silicon tubing in..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve tried there in the past and not had any success sadly so looks like they updated the range. Good price too. However, big shout out to our resident engineering and boat building expert @Geoff for offering to make me one. A very kind gesture and much appreciated but looks like there is an off the shelf version available but I really appreciate the offer 🙂 Id best get up on a few church roofs as I’ve got a very busy summer planned 🙂 exciting times 🙂 Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
