Made my own rigger weight mold this weekend

After my buddy dropped another $50 torpeedo weight in the water last trip I decided I am done with the high priced weights. I built a mold following in the footsteps of some other major tackle manufacturer, but modifying their design to make it easier to produce. I used plywood for the structure of the mold and ductwork metal for the face of the mold. The only modification I am going to make to the mold after casting my first weight is to backfille the other side of the mold with mortar in order to fill the one pinhole in my metal work. It took me about 2 hours to build the mold but I was designg on the fly too.

Not too difficult . . . .

Nice job on the mold. Should save you a little money too.
