I make my own leads for the river from pebbles, drill them out and glue in a swivel

Spot on Sean .So easy yet most lads rather spend a few quid on leads .You ever use flat stones for holding bottom .I use to trim them with a disc cutter when I was mad for the barbel ,4 sided flats .Catching a decent fish instantly took the shine off it for me as it’s all about the hunt .

Think it cost £4 for 2 5 mm drill bits and packet of 20 O- swivels... Make 15/20 before the bits have had it... Be close on £25/30 if buying shop bought leads... Recently started messing around rolling my own baits again after 10 yrs... Works out about £5/6 per kilo, half price on shop bought stuff and having tidy results

Is it simple Epoxy you use or something special for securing the swivels in the stones?

Epoxy or just plain old glue

Thanks, will give them a go.  I did a fair bit of sea fishing back in the day, this would have saved me a fortune in 1lb and 2lb weights.

Anything over 3/4oz I'd just use the Epoxy

They look fantastic

Few spoons rigged up on a weak link, don’t loose many fish rigging them up, better than standard spoon.
