I want to make my own sinkers.
How much do I expect to pay per kg?

If you have a mate or a mate of a mate, ask if you can get some of his lead flashing off-cuts. OR Bunnings, they sell rolls of lead flashing.

There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Re: Where can I get lead for sinkers?
Yep but bcf and anaconda would be the most expensive shop,s to buy sinker,s i dont think wheel weight lead is as good/easy to melt than the lead flashing and where do you find a star sinker mold that does 4 or 5 sinker,s at a time in 3 or 4 ozFish-cador wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 12:51 pm4oz=$2++ when I went to local BCF this morning.
