channel sinker mould

[fairpractice]

hi all, I'm in Brissie and am wondering if any local can lend me a mould to cast a few channel type sinkers? I have a number of standard moulds if interested to use. I have never seen channel sinker moulds for sale...maybe they don't exist. Thanks john

bump pretty rare item, or what? will pay postage to extend the search. I think these sinkers are more common south? Thanks john
These sinkers are rectangular (little brick shape) with a couple of large moulded lugs for line to run through.

Fp why dont you use a barrel mould?

hi good suggestion, will make oversize hole as i want to float bait before dropping sinker. looks like channel sinker is a relic of the past..john

You can still buy the channel sinkers ("pickers doom") but I have never seen a do-it-yourself mold for them for sale.

You can buy the channel sinkers here (they are based in Qld) ;

These 2 US sites stock just about every sinker mold made, but they don't have any for channel sinkers that I can find;
