| I think it has to do with the density/weight per ounce per price of the metal. What other material has the weight of lead at that size and cost the same or less??? But to answer your question. I have no idea.

| I would like those if they weren't $4 for one 3 oz weight. Great idea though.

| Yeah, My idea was to make it cost effective for all of us and I didn't even think of it being invisible. I was thinking of how much lead weights have gone up, and maybe moulding something else and creating some that were a lot cheaper. I didn't realize those invisible ones were so high. Outta my reach!

I think I should have added this to the first post. I normally only put a zipcode on a 2oz pyramid, so I guess my idea was really not for trying to replace the big dog weights.

| There was a time when money was so very tight to me i could not afford fishing weights. I fished very rocky high energy coastlines and would go through up to 2 doz per trip. I used two things: Marine Green Maxima (it stood up to mussels better than anything else) and old spark plugs. Close the gap and tie off there. 35lb Maxima will open that gap up when you get hungup, lots less broken off. They cast Ok too, kind of streamlined and weigh around 2 to 2.5 oz depending on brand. Dont hold at all but that was good for what i was fishing for. Rust away fast except for the ceramic part, perhaps a bit healthier for environment than lead. I worked at a place that made ceramic insulators and we ran a batch of ceramic fishing weights thru the furnaces a buddy designed, that was not too good. They broke easily and any bad holes stayed that way, no way to ream them out. Found some that broke off years later and apart from marine growth they never degraded. Glad i can afford lead now and that its not outlawed like in California.
