Sandlurk82 0 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hey, Im just wondering if anyone makes their own 4, 6 and 8 ounce grapnel sinkers? I know how to make standard star sinkers, but i am unsure how to go about making a grapnel sinker. If anyone has any suggestions i would really appreciate it.

Underpants 1,543 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 A few members make the 'breakaway' style. http://www.strikehook.com/index.php/topic/24158-breakaway-sinkers/?hl=breakaway I gather there are a few different designs, 'Breakaway', 'Gemini' both pommy. http://www.breakaway-tackle.co.uk/index.php?route=common/home http://www.gemini-tackle.co.uk/ http://www.uk-hooks.com/category.php?selected=891&page=1 I bought some off torpedo7 to trial....just havnt managed to trial them yet .

plankton 725 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 The UK Hooks moulds are very nice and turn out great sinkers, but they're not cheap. Here's a link to another source in NZ that seems more resonable, http://www.discountfishingsupplies.co.nz/shop/sinker-moulds-c-141.html? You also need to source some stainless steel wire for the grapnel prongs and tail loops. Underpants 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
