Here’s my brass three pin plug weight




The bit of dowel is a kebab skewer .
I put the small swivel into the “screw hole “ and drive (hammer) the dowel into the “wire hole” so that it jams one eye of the swivel, then just trim the surplus.

Utilise the items thats the best way to save throwing the old plugs in the bin.Reelmaker

Although “free” plays a part, I just think brass lost in the river is a bit more environmentally friendly than lead.

Target species Electric Eels I wonder or an earthing conductor for lighting strikes? :

Nice idea....

Thanks

Good morning ,I have used tungsten throwaway turning tool tips that were used for machining metal , quite heavy and small.I do believe the material was used in early development of split shot.Reelmaker.

Great idea, and a good bit of recyling
