Like aging wine 🍷....

You want to know what's what....
Mark your mono and floral...
Why would you want to use aged monofilament line,
When you can use that first.
Just add reservoir....💧

These are pencil ✏️ weights....

Make for dragging across the bottom with a float that holds cut bait off the bottom. But you could use them for what ever you want the heaviest one is just under 6oz.
They all have a hole 🕳 in the bottom for adjusting and add more weight if needed like a barrel weight

The silver soldier....

Made them get expensive. I Think the 300lb swivels were around 20 cents apiece. I got a hundred of them no wonder they hate me....🤣

The school of shad is on the bottom.

You can just sit around wasting away...

And polluting your brain 🧠 with stupid Netflix 🙄 movies 🎬 or you can take the value of different atoms combine
For an increased value....
These babies are going in my vault
Better than money 💰 sitting in the bank doing nothing 🤣 🕶😎

Are the long bars used for weights? What did you make them from and how did you get the prism finish on them?

It comes hot rolled and cold rolled. Hot rolled is softer easier to work with drilling and cutting.
You can Google weight charts that tell you size weight pre foot on different sizes just do the math
The prism is just tape made for putting on lures
It comes in a box with gold silver blue purple red green all prism tape cheap good stuff 👌
