yeah buddy, ive used all kinds of things to use as sinkers. Old bolts, big washers, tire weights work pretty good.
when your hard up for cash (or realize that your gonna lose almost everything catfishing from the bank at old hickory, you quickly become a sinker engineer)
i was fishing the steps at Rockland Park at Old Hickory dam one afternoon with my brother for walleyes and saugers. just casting leadheads and tails, it was getting prime time for the evening bite when we got there, current was perfect, water clarity was perfect. in the first 5 minutes we were there, i lost 10 leadheads on 10 casts, after i snapped the 10th one off and preparing to throw the rod into the water, i calmly reeled up the slack line, grabbed what was left of my leadheads and headed toward the truck mumbling obscenities and how the river should just dry the "bleep" up! LOL. it was just not a good night!
