Pirk Wires..

[Norrie]

Hiya, Ive been given a load of Moulds for boat fishing weights, and one for a "Fish" type pirk...any idea where I can get the wires that run through it....???? See pic please...I left pirks in the mould for definition....

 

Its a 1lb Pirk, measures 7" from snout to tail....any help, would be great...

Thanks in advance guys....

They are simple enough to make if you only need a few. If you need lots, a wire bender designed for the job isn't too expensive.

 

Otherwise, I imagine an email to the link on this page with dimensions and they could fix you up.

Newt, Thanks for that....I will mail them with the sizes...I actually want to make some for home use...and some for Ebay...to cover costs ....so, I think it might be better to get them made up....

How many do you need Norrie, and what wire diameter and loop diameter?

Hi

 

I got hold of a roll of damaged stainless steel welding wire for free. I bend this for all my pirks and lead moulds.

[Norrie]

Chris, Will get the wire diameter,and loop size checked tomorrow,not got the micrometer at hand...Dont want to put you out...so...mibbes a couple of dozen for my own use... Thanks a lot for that, I have fence wire that might do, but use it on my throw away weights...it rots in days....so not quiet suitable....

 

Peterseafishing..Thanks for your input mate..will also have a look at that, as a longer term idea...but ideally wanted to buy them made up....if poss....

Norrie ,

Is shipping 1lb lumps of lead really viable and cost effective given the postage costs? Or do you just leave the stamp off and let reciever pay the excess

 

If you want something to sell on ebay i got a sh*t load of torches left

Dave...Not really going to Ebay Lead things....but, will use enough between mates,AN, and myself to need a made to order service on the wires.....Bring LOTS of T*****S with you ...."This time next year Rodney" as Del said......

Norrie - I think the original link has some wire formers on offer but if not, they aren't expensive and you could likely find other stuff you needed specific wire sizes and shapes for.

I used to have a similer mould. Building ties (the type that go between brick and breeze blocks when building a house I think) were ideal but took some bending. I used to get lots of ties given off a builder friend of mine. Ive just thrown about 500 in the skip. They are easy enough come by though.
