Speaking of decoy weight molds...

The other post on the Greenhawk weight mold got me thinking of one of my decoy weight molds.
I bought this a few years ago because......well I don't know what I was thinking. I cast a few dozen and I decided they aren't for me.
Does anyone use this type of weight. Maybe I'm not using it as intended.

Hi! I use a version of an H weight. I made three dozen for a friend last summer. I did not think to take pic while I was molding them, sorry. Anyway I mold 2 different sizes. An 8 oz and a 12.5 Oz. The molds were milled from 2" thick blocks of aluminum.

Line is wrapped around the body of the anchor. It can be easily set for any depth by tightly wrapping the line off around one of the ears. Similar procedure as what I use for my "h" weights.


=========================================================

For the anchors you show, the twisted loop would go around one of these ears.

Thanks Dave, I wasn't using a loop in the line like you are showing. That makes sense, thanks.

I think I'll try to trade it for another style I prefer, or just put it back in the basement.
