i settled on the 16 oz trolling mold from barlows. pointman says he will punch the hole thru the center on his drill press. For high speed applications i'm thinking that a single line through the sinker is the most strong. i just think the molded in eyes would come free with a fast moving lure meeting a fast moving wahoo/tuna. heck maybe i am over enginering a problem that realy isn't a problem..... Ideas/comments?????
There are lures that are capable of running without a trolling lead at high speed. I really like the way that Big Mike's 8o9 pulls. I really want to drag his new 12o9 lure.
To give you an answer to your question, drill that mold.

put a fan upwind of your project to blow lead fumes away from you, preferably outside and also molten hot lead is hard on tevas
