Looking for 7 Once sinkers

**billh22** · 11-13-2008 05:19 PM

I was able to get a bunch several years ago in Chincotergue MD at a local tackle store. But since then can't find any or a mound to make them. Anybody know where to get some.

good luck, I've seen a few 7's turn up in sinker buckets on boats but was always told that they were poured in an antique mold. I wish they still had 7's but I've never seen them or a mold. I did come across the name Palmer as a company that had a 7-ounce mold once upon a time

Did a google and this is the first one on the list.

And if you don't want to deal with lead, you could ask this guy if he would make 7oz sinkers (he would have to buy the mold I guess)

Thanks for the heads up on the sinker moulds. I can't beleive that the local shops don't bother to handle them. Their reply is "no body makes throughs there is no mould for 7oz.

I used to cut down 8oz and it made a differance when drifting for fluke.
