I poured 250 egg sinkers so my list isn't too bad for flathead gear.
Planning on getting 2 spools of braided dacron and 4 or 5 boxes of L144BK 5/0 hooks. A few pads for the thermocell and another hook sharpener like the ones I already have.

I will pick up bluegill and channel cat hooks for my wife and the grandkids while I am there. I stocked up on bobbers last Fall.

Take regular egg sinkers, insert a wire into the hole, and flatten with a hammer. Not as pretty as regular no-roll, but a lot easier to find and cheaper. Salt Fork Outdoors sells them as well.

Chuck
You are a couple weeks too late. Chad gave me some and I had to add them to lead I was pouring egg sinkers to get softer lead in the pour.

If you are not making a lot you can make a little temporary mold out of epoxy or wood. I could make one in a piece of cast aluminum for you.
(you find the cast alum or steel)

I forgot about making a mold for sinkers. The cast aluminum we get isn't in plate form. I can get you all the extruded aluminum plate you need, but it'll still work.

Wish they had a Cabelas down here in Florida. I buy a lot more from them than Bass Pro Shops which is about 2 hours away.

I got a hook sharpener and a line counter for Chad.

A coyote call ($1.09) and a hook sharpener for me.

They didn't have the braided dacron line in stock so we will order it.
