Does anyone know? I fish alot and so I'd save much by making my own sinker. Cheers

I'm not a fisherman myself, so I'm not sure how much you would need.

I know that lead is used for flashing though, so you would be able to buy a roll of lead flashing from somewhere like PlaceMakers or Mitre 10.

It will probably be too much though.

Thank you, that is a good idea.

I don't mind buying lots as I'm always fishing :)

Still if anyone knows where to buy raw lead for making sinker, please reply here. Cheers

try your local scrap metal dealer,  he should be willing to sell you some.
