Good day to you all.
Hopefully this will help all the guys that make their own sinkers with making some sinker clips with a casting clip. Just excuse some of the photos they might not be to clear.
To start of with you will need to make a small tool to bend your wires, I use a piece of angle iron and the master links from a chain. Weld the pins on the link to the angle iron.
You will need:
1x Longnose pliers
1x Cutters
?x Swivels
?x Wire 1,4mm spring steel
1xTool

The first step is to bend the part that you would hook up yo you bait.
-
The next step is to bend the part that would be inside the sinker once you have casted the lead. The length you do this bend will be depended on how long you want to make this clip.
-
Next is the part that you would tie the line to. All thats left is to tidy the clip up and to attch the swivel.

Shot Guys, Just trying to help my fellow anglers.
A tip with the long nose pliers is to shorten it a bit ( make it stuby ) and drill a hole thru it. Hope it is visable anough in this picture.
