lead weights

[breezer]

i want some lead weights, the obvious place to look is google, it brings up fishing shops, but those lead weights are too small, i am looking for something that weighs as much as a housebrick which is ? lbs

so i have tried google for diving shops, they have plastic coated lead weights that must really be gold, judging by the price.

i need quite a few probably about 10.

so my question is apart from divers and fishermen who uses lead weights?
(tried ebay)

and if anyone would be kind enough to tell me how much a house brick weighs it would also be useful

housebricks work, but they "dont look right" and lead being dense must be smaller for the same weight

What about cast-iron scales weights off the market. Or are they too big?

you want a tackle shop that sells leads for boat fishing - up to a couple of pound in weight

Thanks people.

I think the roofing lead will be the easiest option, i hadn't thought of that

i know where where is a builders merchant or two, i dont know any fishing shops

i opted for the roofing lead as it was easier.

just to say thanks for the suggestions, roofing lead worked a treat, my only hope is she doesnt come to the surface
