Anyone know if any of the pencil lead molds will take crane swivels? I don't like using eyelets for freshwater fishing. And not the twisted type barrel swivel, the loop crane swivels.

maybe it would help if you describe what you are doing/want to do. There are so many alternatives, and I think I've about used them all.....and I know I'm not alone.

Basicaly just a pencil sinker that has a swivel instead of an eyelet. Like the drop shots just with a regular crane swivel instead of the drop shot swivel. The main probem with the drop shots is I always use a sliding sinker. Will have to call do-it and see if that mold will take a regular crane swivel or not.

Those swivels in a regular pencil lead mold. I guess I could modify the molds but I would screw them up.

Looks like just a modified Crane, but yes, check with Do-It or an informed vendor.

Barlows Tackle carries just about every type of lead molds you can think of.
I've ordered from them multiple times and have always been happy with their service.
Here is a link to 7 pages worth of different types of molds.

Rotary tool + carbide burr + lead mould = possibilities... Grind away what doesn't need to be there and you could fit lots of things in that mould.

Those listed finese drop shot molds are TINY 1/8 to 3/8ths of an ounce. And they don't have mulituple size weights cavities in each mold. So you would need to buy a bunch of different ones for your task.

The doit mold to pour pencil lead could be modified from a 1 eyelet to a #7 rosco crane swivel with a dremel.

I think the Lil Mac pencil lead mold would be your best bet, for a mold to modify to use a crane swivel with.

What # line is that? Will be interesting to see if I can make the loop small enough to use it like a slip sinker. If it works for larger stuff then it will make a nice sinker without the hardware.
