Hi Hookset
I bought a used Lee lead pot last year from a Rhody guy who moved up to the Albany area a few years ago. This allows me to drill any diameter hole and fill it with lead and then fair it in with bondo as the surface filler.
For the needles I follow the same weighting as the plastic superstrike needles. Take a good look at the low wt placement behind the belly hook on a semi clear SS needle. I try and achieve the exact same wt scheme by drilling below midline with 2 or 3 holes (3 with 8.5" wadds and 2 with the 6 1/4 and 7 1/4) The forward wt cavity has a wider diameter.
Josh C has used a few of my needles this past year and caught some nice fish up to ~30lbs and lost a bigger fish due to hook straightening... damn.
I do not use any tail weights only belly weighting.
