Got this from another forum really good

Tungsten dust can be toxic if inhaled long term, but few of us will ever see such exposure......... and highly unlikely from the currently available sinker products.

Problem with tungsten is the WOW cost......... it's way over the top.

Here's a few links I quickly gathered in this subjects regard (no recommendations - just sharing info....):

BTW - diamond bits can be purchased in quantity at reasonable prices online through the likes of EBay, etc.............

If you do try this project - buy more than a few spare bits - they can snap easily and do get dull ........

Welcome... almost every second day out on the water that sounds like paradise!

Might not get solved by water but guaranteed ground up and end up in the food chain.

There is no single argument that will convince me that it is ok to use toxic substances like lead. There is no other way for me then finding a better solution... will keep you guys updated as soon as I found something that works.

Just wondering what you guys would recommend for greasing a braided 29 pound fishing line. Is there any household item (Crisco?) that you could recommend?

thx

Worth a try! Just wondering how lonf the ping pong ball would last and how easy water might get in there? HAve you usedthe described set up?

Just wondering if anyone would be so generous sharing those or know a source for those kinda maps without having to pay(much)?

Hi guys,

 just wandering are the fishing weights now a days really made out of the heavy metal lead (Pb). Never ever or? that toxic stuff that causes birth defects as well as brain and nerve damage?

Anyways was wondering if you guys know of any alternatives to the store bought weights? Just looking for a niffty DIY solution.

Hi guys,

was fishing for pike the last little while and after I started making my own casting spoons, I am really getting into trying to make what ever imaginable myself. SO drifter float for pike? Anybody made those or maybe a carp float with a sail for visibility. Your expert advice would be appreciated.

After searching the internet for first tries I would give it a go to just stick a kebab stick through a cheap red/white ball float, 1 or 2 poker cards, paperclip, nailpolish (what kind a grease do you use for your line) and give you an update once tested. Once I know how to use it and know what I want, I probably would upgrade the materials to 1'' balsa dowel and maybe a spinner wire or so.

got your 2 cents, drop em here     thx

THX guys

Hi guys,

just wondering what kind of bait fish you would use for Pike and where to get them in Toronto?

THX

BS or not the future lies with in our hands and anything to improve the chances of survival for our beloved finned friends is welcome by me

No clue about ice fising but sounds like great fun!

Any chance one of you guys could help me out with some gear? Would greatly appreciate it if I could first try it out before investing in gear.

Thx

thx, would know how to tell if its a male or a female?

Hi guys,

was on Wednesday in the morning hours at my favourite Toronto spot and thought I share a couple pics with you.

Enjoy

Thursday?

sounds good!

this sunday?

I would be happy to take the first ferry in the morning but don't really care what time.

Oh, sorry to highjack your thread Jan. I'm new to OFF as well and live downtown west. We can hook up sometime. Get it? Hahaha.........yup.

It's already one of those days.

AHHHHH what a Halloween treat to get so much action on my thread!!! No worries about the highjacking. I am hooked thats for sure. Give me a shout when you are heading to the water.

Was today again at the spot in the west end and didn't catch anything   haha but thats cool, thought the high temperatures would get a few pike to look out for some goodies especially since there was a beautiful border between clean lake water and the dark soup from the creek ahh well no fish but learned a few things and met a super nice guy who actually broke his rod yesterday   at exactly that spot but today he was back to try it again, thats what I call a real fisherman. Good fishing and a Happy Halloween everybody

All the time we spend driving there we could be fishing!!!

Hilarious, give the man a net!

Try out the Humber Bay Park West, Toronto, ON, Canada, Planet Earth, Milky way Galaxy, somewhere in this Universe or so

was recently there, it's just beside the marina and boy I saw something chasing something on the surface couple times, that was during those last warm weather days but since it seems relatively deep there I would give it a try even with the temperatures at the moment, but take this whit a grain of salt since I am a bloody beginner... would be happy to hear how it goes

Thanks guys. Really appreciate it!!

OK so we got the first location!

got time on thursday?

Nice to find a few people with a heart and a brain in this forum. THANKS!!! for cleaning BUDDIES THANKS!!! again from mother nature

do i hear a pike outing ? lol. Welcome jan !

THX

Welcome Jan. Looks like I was too slow on the hook set for the questions.

Just throw out your lure again. I have to do that all the time.
