Anyone lost a pirk?

[The Great Wallsendo]

just tidying up the box from the last trip out and remembered that on the last trip I pulled this out of the water "as is"

I wonder if anyone recognises it?

 

[KeithB]

Yep I'd be amazed if that wasn't manufactured in my shed.

Just had a quick melt with the Bullfinch burner / furnace I bought on BSA, crikey!! it's scary!!

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

It was caught in the locale of where the 2 boats have been fishing for a few weeks so I'd be very surpirsed if it wasn't a Brown Fast Drop Special

I noticed you went in quick for that - any good? is it as quick as it says?

 

[KeithB]

My pan is it a bit small for it and it would just eat a non cast iron pan.

I think it may get the lead too hot too quickly for my liking but I haven't played with the settings yet.

1365 Bullfinch Unilow Furnace - Calor Gas Heaters

Imagine a bunsen burner and multiply by 20

I had it connected to a 2 bar regulator maybe I should try it with the one it came with :red:

your only meant to melt the lead not boil the ruddy stuff

 

[KeithB]

We like our sinkers a bluey purple colour Alan, I haven't melted a mould yet

 

[Norman]

keith, you could mould moulds with that

 

[jason]

norman did you have a look at the sea today - what is it like

 

[Norman]

pretty big this morning jason (although it was rather dark to see exactly)... so we decided not to suffer, will have a look again tomorrow morning

Me & Bert had a look out, not nice for angling.

We got to the 3 mile mark bagged some mackeral and headed back.
