Well the new season's finally here, my start wasn't too clever on the River Severn, with just a chub, a 5lb bream, and sunburn to show for my efforts ! The bream was full of breeding tubercles, so I think that tells it's own tale . . . . .
Inbetween a few services I dug a bit of kit out. . . . .
So I thought I'd get ahead of myself in a rare moment of forward thinking efficiency by making some heavy leads for when the inevitable rainy season starts . . . . . . . .
So i cobbled together a mould (smartgrip mould) and a few tools......
Dug out my trusty Hippolito stove and filled it with paraffin. . . . . .
A bit of extra help from a gas torch to get the lead to temp' and away we go. . . .
Here's a few from the batch I knocked up that were then powder coated.....
The finished article :)
