For you guys who want to pour directly and deep think pull wire (.094"). Here is a closeup of an expensive needle that was made that way.

If you prefer to drill through lead, drill your through wire hole first, then use a long 1/8" bit with the cutting tip hand ground on your grinder to a longer point powered by a plug-in electric hand drill at full speed so it doesn't bog down and seize. Works like a charm.

Yeah, expensive but worth it.
Have thought about direct pour myself, but worry about the overspill into the through wire hole and issues compromising the sealer coat, not to mention the hassles of handling hot lead.

Why not just do what I do, make the slug a bit wider and shallower and then you're all good.  |

Wonder how that was done? I don't see any easy way.
Somehow the holes were plugged and as you say a pull wire inserted. |

I was just wondering how they were weighted 
I think I would have just pulled the wire |

I have a few Pichney danny's.One goes close to 3 oz.I love that plug when the water gets up.Just hold it in the curl an u can see em flashing behind it.Till one takes it.I have a few 2 hook A-jrs made by danny also I have done pretty well with.
These are the types I copy or Or should I say I make similar designs. As I can't get em without giving up a arm or a leg.Not really much of a surfcaster without them things.
So many lures.It's a PITA to make a bag sometimes.
Learning how they react in different surf conditions thru this building thing is worth there weight in gold.Not sure I would realize the difference if I did not start doing this.I wonder if the collectors know the difference..
