_Found a place in Harrisville that does powder coating for a very good price. I have 4ea 10lb fish style downrigger weights powder coated & clear coated for $10ea. I also have 2ea 8lb powder coated weights I bought at the ISE earlier this year which got them clear coated. The clear coating has a touch of sparkle._

Looks real  
Good and a very fair price I think!  
I have several new lead balls and fish I might think about that.

I currently use 10 lb factory coated pancake weights but have thought about replacing them with the the solid metal (not lead) fish-shaped weights which come in a shiny silver color. I assume they are made with some sort of stainless steel which makes them corrosion resistant. I’m not sure if there would be any value in powder coating them as opposed to coating the fish shaped lead weights. And lastly, what are your thoughts as to the best color to use if powder coating?
