I have ordered the line and everything I need to rig my decoys I order 10lb of 6oz egg weights. Well that's only like 26 weights. I have old strap lead that i have from friends. I want to melt them down and make my own. Where can i buy the best mold.

If you don't want to melt them down just use the strap weights, I've re-used my old ones they work just fine.

I bought my mold off of Ebay, its a Do-it brand 6, 8 ounce egg mold, it makes 1 of each size at a time. Make sure you give them a few seconds to fully set up in the middle or when you pull the pin the inside of the egg will cave in on the opening. I had very poor luck with trying to drill these out, and found it easier to just re-pour the bad castings. I think it cost me around 35 bucks including shipping. If you dont want to buy the mold I could sell you some of my extra weights.
