Homemade saltwater fishing gear

[Wetwoodshunter]

This year I learned how to powdercoat with a fluid bed and brushes. It’s a simple setup and I use a vertical toaster oven to cure my powdercoat. I would be interested in seeing anyone else’s gear they make.

No pics, but learned how to make blade baits from Goodwill table knives. All my hali/ling jigs are plumbing scrap and lead from x-ray rooms.

Here is a side by side from some of the first ones I made when I was still using a heat gun to cure.

If I had a line on scrap copper pipe I would make a bunch of those too. 1/4” dia at 4” work great nearshore. I have melted a bit of the x-ray lead too. Lead like everything else has gone up in price.
