You're not alone.   I'll be adding a second power pole to the bass boat very soon.

I buy all my lead from the scrap yards. I go thru around 5,000 -10,000 lbs a year. Im just always looking for a new line on lead. Sometimes the scrapyards dont have as much as I need. Im not big on wheel weights. There are way to many steal weights mixed in these days. If I was just pouring a few sinkers for myself I wouldnt mind but Im running a business. If I buy 100 lbs of wheel weight and I get 50 lbs of steal I lose money. I have had times where I bought 100 lbs. and only got 7 1/2 lbs of lead. Im paying people to buy my sinkers then. Thats why I stick to sheet lead and chunks if all possible. Thank you for your offer Snowcone. If I ever get in a bind I will give you a call.
