I will demonstrate how simple it is to make a "repairable spider weight" using 4 nails, a block of wood copper wire and some scrap lead.

Don't go to a construction site and steal the wire!

When electricians wire a new building, they leave longer wires in the boxes and when ready to wire the plugs and switches, these are the chunks they pull off and throw away. I usually just ask them if they have any scraps and thats how I get mine, In the video... those are chunks I got from a friend a couple years ago.

Now the lead is the same thing, Ask a plumber for old scrap "LEAD" pipes or go to your favorite tire shop (Small shops work best for me) and see if they have any old tire weights they want to get rid of - a couple of hand fulls will make you several good weights.

WARNING: Do not put hot lead on anything wet - It will pop and send hot lead everywhere... Believe me I know!

  • how do you use a spider weight??..i mean like doesnt it get caught like in logs and in between rocks??..like how the legs are like that...

  • @d4mi3nBr0th4 These weights are more for fishing on the beach where there is only sand on the bottom. for logs and rocks you may want to use a silver dollar or tear drop sinker. best bet is carolina rigged egg sinker with texas rigged bait.

  • Manuel, are you still making videos and is your web site still up, I can't seem to find it. Thanks for you excellent video series.

  • @RobbinsJoe surffishing(dot)tripod(dot)com do not add the 3 W's at the beginning. The link is in the video info. Geocities went down so I had to revert to an old saved version of my website but the info is still there.
