the right combination/amount of weight was achieved
the position of the line was marked onto the lure as
this would be the position for the hole to be drilled
into the lure to accommodate the lead. The lead and
lure were then left aside together ready for drilling
out and weighting.
Fitting Internal Weights To My Homemade
Lures
There are two ways as far as I can see to go about fitting internal weighting to wooden lures. One way is
to drill a hole at the required position in the lure body
and simply melt and pour the lead into it. The other
way is to mould the lead into a dowel or pellet and fit
this dowel into a hole drilled into the lure body. The
first method of simply melting and pouring the lead
into a hole in the lure body would involve less work
but you would really need to know the correct diameter and depth of the hole required before drilling any
holes in the lure blanks. As I had not done this before
I did not want to risk drilling a hole in the lure body
that would be th
