I texted Dan: "How about Sunday? I just got 70Lbs of lead." And so the long awaited mega pour was on. We recruited Dave, after all the guy will work for jigheads, and got down to business. I thought I'd done good, building up a stock of 1400+ hooks and four or five different molds till Dan showed up with four or five molds of his own and at least two or three times as many jig hooks! A long day later interrupted only by some grilled hotdogs and a cold beer, we ended draining three bottles of propane just melting down enough lead to keep the electric pouring pot going nonstop all day. There was no counting them it was a case of dividing each size of jighead into three equal piles and filling up every coffee can, plastic container and empty box we could find. Now for the fun part, spending the next year losing them all so we can do it again. Here's a shot of a bit of the stash...
