jagger 24 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Howdy Guys,After some info on C sinkers and where I may be able to get some. I am led to believe they are adelaide made but with out going directly to the manufacturer, is there any one out there I can get a few from ??I have found them very affective at retreiving jig heads from snags but have run out ( only had 2 but saved me plenty of jig heads, leaders and time ! )Any info is greatly appreciated.Jags..

finatic 1 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 The C sinker storyA good friend, Bob, owned & designed the C sinker in the 90's, he sold the business to a farmer at Karoonda, did a bad job of it as he was only filling holes in the farming season, he sold it to a company in NSW, did a terrible job of it & now is defunct unless more recently somebody has resurected it.Anyhow, as stated, Bob is a good friend, he was smart enough to keep some moulds & continues to make them for me as I supply him with the lead from my Pistol club.Now you know where to find them.Finatic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David_C 768 Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi guys Sorry to revive an extremely old post. We were talking last night at the club meeting about c sinkers and how they are no longer manufacturered. Does anybody know who ended up buying the moulds?

dmck 627 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I suspect the biggest problem will be getting the plastic centers made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
