[cool][#0000ff]We're just pullin' yer chain on the wheel weights. Some anglers do use them for sinkers in heavy waters, but you cannot use them for making lures unless you melt them down and pour them into a mold with the wire inserts to form loops on either end. And, I usually do not recommend using tire weights for making small lures, because they are too hard. There are other metals in the lead that raise the melting point. They are a good cheap source of lead for making simple molds, like sinkers and big jigs though.[/#0000ff]
