Belly Weights - Pancake Style
Building the exact lure that you want means you always need the exact components you want to build with. Finding those components can be challenging, a struggle we know all too well here at 247 Lures. That desire for the very best components has led us down the path to a new line of custom designed pancake-style belly weights.
These lead belly weights are produced by one of our vendors in a spincast machine with custom molds designed just for 247 Lures. Using pancake-style weights like these allow you to keep the weight of a lure as low as possible, while still achieving the exact location and mass you need.
At this time we have four sizes, three of these sizes all fit into a ½” drilled hole (with some wiggle room for epoxy/glue – you might be able to squeeze them into a 31/64” hole). The 11g weight is a larger diameter, requiring a 19/32” hole, but is only ¼” tall – really keeping that weight extra low in the belly of the plug.
Specifics are listed here, choose your preferred size from the drop-down menu…
- ¼oz pancake – fits into ½” hole, ¼” tall, weights average ~0.24oz (~6.8g)
- 3/8oz pancake – fits into ½” hole, 11/32” tall, weights average ~0.37oz (~10.4g)
- 1/2oz pancake – fits into ½” hole, 9/16” tall, weights average ~0.48oz (~13.5g)
- 11gram pancake – fits into 19/32” hole, ¼” tall, weights average ~0.39oz (10.95g)
Due to the spin-casting process, these weights are exceptionally consistent and clean with almost no burrs or lead-gates. There is however, a tendency to not be perfectly round cylinders. The weights still work great, just know that you did not get a bad batch or any sort of reject if you notice some that are a little oblong.
