34,500 jig heads
Spent the afternoon out of the mess in the big shop, cleaning up some bulk lead, getting it in usable form. Cleaned it twice and poured it into 32 ounce muffins. There are 7 lead muffins still cooling in the muffin pan, that aren't pictured. If I calculated correctly, there's enough lead there for 11,500 1/16 ounce and 23,000 1/32 ounce jigs. The way I fish in the trees (skwerl hunt as my fishing buddy calls it) that should get me well past spawning season.

Good job Brad, those ingots look pretty clean!
What did you end up fluxing the lead with?

Thanks.
I used wax for flux. Is there something better? I still don't exactly understand that process. I just know that when the wax burns, and I stir it, there's lots of ash on top that I scoop off the lead. I'm guessing that it brings impurities out of the lead, but I'm still trying to figure out just what constitutes "fluxing."
I cleaned the lead twice. I put it in a big pot 20-25 lbs at a time and melted it down. I skimmed the ash and dirt off. I then poured it in a smaller pot, fluxed it, stirred and cleaned off the scum again. Then poured in the muffin tins.
