That is a half a pound of lead. I fished light with my hand line 5-6 ozs and tried to stay under 200 foot deep. Fresh water I never have used that much weight except fishing sturgeon o the Columbia river.

I have problems with wheel weights fully filling jig heads 1/16 ounce or smaller. They work fine on big stuff.
That's because wheel weights have a high percentage of antimony in them. Throw a couple of feet, (exact amount doesn't matter) of 99% tin plumbers solder in the melt and that will allow the mold to completely fill out,
Check with plumbers in your area. They remove a lot of lead piping, and usually have it around the shop. It is quality lead except where they make joints, then they use something with a lot of zinc or babbitt.
I got a bunch of lead sheeting from a Doctors office X ray room. I had to do first heat outside to get rid of gunk but the lead was really good and free.
I called off the deal. Wouldn't go lower with high volume sell. After reading your comments i decided the deal was not what i was looking for. Thank you Sarge

I've got a couple 100 pounds of ingots and probably closed to another 100 pounds of raw lead in the from batteries, used bullets, old lead pipe and lead from railroad torpedoes. I have been looking around for a good used electric melting pot, so I can melt the rest of it and maybe make a few sinkers.

Yes sir. I just use them on my ditty poles for big flathead catfish. I use bullheads up to a little over a pound each for bait. I prefer to set my lines where the bait will be hanging about 6" off the bottom of the river. This is often in water 8-10' deep. I find the heavier weight helps keep the bait close so it doesn't swim up or worse yet swim into the side of the creek and tangle in roots and the like. It's a specialized system I have worked on for many years and it works good for me, loads of fun for the kids too!
ADC It looks to work well for you. I can see where a heavy weight would be a plus holding a large live bait. Set lines / jugs are not legal here of any type. .
