    Have you considered making one from plaster?

    Did this to make a downrigger and it worked out OK.

    Cheers

    Used plaster many time for sinker molds. Just make sure its well and truly dry, I also coated the inside with a sealer.

    No no! Tried plaster myself, and the results can be explosive! Hot lead into any material carrying even a hint of moisture can be very dangerous, make sure you wear protective gear including safety glasses if trying this. Banshee, I'll send you a PM now of the right stuff which I have been using for years.....
