sinker molds and equipment for pouring..

[fish raptor]

Just trying to gear up for the future now that I have the new boat. been spending a LOT of time on the net trying to learn new techniques and type of gear I will need and I see I will be needing some other types of sinkers and larger sizes so I thought it only made sense to at least consider pouring my own. I have quite a supply of good lead.

I know that there are a lot of lead pourers out there and thought I could get some good advise which would save me a lot of time trying to filter through all the internet for the proper equipment and techniques.

Is there a brand/s of sinker molds out there that are considered superior for what ever reason. I know I need bank and egg sinkers to start off with probably to include some of the larger sizes for trolling.
My dad gave me a pyramid mold up to 4oz and the old traditional twist on sinkers which I have way too many and can remelt into something more useful.

Do all molds "stamp" on each sinker their weight, ie. 1/2oz, 1 oz and so on ... as that would also be nice.

My girlfriend gave me the lead melting pot that I have included in a pic but I measured it with water and it is only holds 4oz. I can only guess that this unit is too small ? If so, best to sell it and get something bigger/better ??

Can anyone advise as to what I need to get a nice sinker making set up. As usual, looking for quality stuff.

Possibly jig heads down the road as I have all the bucktail tying equipment.

Also like the idea of being able to put wire through the egg sinkers so they can be attached quickly to line with snap swivel. I take it that there are special molds used to accomplish this ?

Kind Regards,
