Hi Bennie,

One question for you please. When pouring the molten lead into the back does this not melt the plug or is there some trick. Thx.

Excellent post.

No, no trick. It wont melt. The plastic will absorb the heat and cool the lead quickly. It might go soft but goes back to normal without burning it.

How it works. Nylon will melt at 200 degrees. Lead also melts at 200 degrees. The ambient temperature is say 30 degrees. Some of the heat is transfered to the plastic balancing out the temperature at approximately the 115 degree mark.

Many thanks for the reply, so the trick is to use nylon and not polyprop or some other strange material.

I buy offcuts from the local plastic guys and have used all of them, they all work. HDPE is the one that I usually use, is available as works 100% as the resident king of lure making above says..One of them, not HDPE, nor nylon I think is harder and a PT to drill and saw and deforms from the extra heat from the circular saw, but it still works and some of my skeef plugs worked well until stolen by fish so hey..
