weights

When my brother and I were driving home from the MSBA meeting after listening to Steve's lecture I had given thought to taking various size nails and grinding one end to a point a taking the nail head off. An eight or ten penny galvy nail will give the same results as what you guys are talking about here. Spend an hour at the grinder and a whole season worth of sluggo weight could be had. What do you think?

I think solder cut to length will work good. I may try that but at the cheap price from Surfcasting RI for a bag of them, I'll just buy them instead.
