[cool][blue][size 1]Hey youngun, the mold I got makes them up to 1 ounce...2 3/4 inches long. I can get the mold for the larger sizes, and I may do so later.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]I am also going to get back into making hammered copper pipe lures. I used to make some big nasty ones for deep jigging for rockfish. They also beat up on some big sandies and calicos...as well as a couple of misguided yellowtail.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Know any good sources for copper pipe...1/2" to 1" size? You can partially flatten and curve them the way you want, then fill them with lead. Finish by drilling holes for big split rings, painting them and prism taping them and you are good to go. [/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I'll have to set up a grinding wheel when I get relocated and whip out a few fer ya.[/size][/#0000ff]
