Any of you cast ?No Roll? river fishing weights and have any recommendations on molds? I was getting low on weights, and thought, I could further utilize your casting equipment and make my own
Thanks

One of my main customers for extra lead casts weights and lures.  I think he does mostly deep sea, but I will ask him the next time he picks up lead.

The pins can be pulled after the lead solidifies without much trouble.  Some of my molds use the pins to leave the hole for the line to pass through.
Gloves help to eliminate burns to the hands from the mold handles and pins while working faster and hotter.

My hope is that the pin diameter provided will be large enough to accommodate the 65lb braided line I use. I would think different diameter pins are available

Should be fine for that line size.  I've used them with 40lb mono and they still slide just fine. I use a pair of pliers to pull the pins as they cool.

Thanks guys, I?m pretty sure the mold will pay for itself this summer with all the snags out there
