Here is the video as promised. (Language Warning)

Duct tape your cuffs and dump a thermos of hot water in your suit next time. Or buy a dry suit. You're welcome

Lol. Don't have the money for a dry. I don't have enough weight for my 5mm suit. Normally I would wear both but I need to buy weight first.

I might have an extra #6 or two lying around if you're not going to melt them down for jigs or such.

I used to run a 7mm semidry and it took a stupid amount of lead to get neutral. Bought a DUI dry suit a few years back, and won't go back. Worth every penny.

 

[scubajt41]

I'd be very interested in those weights. I don't mold baits. Went to price out dive weights today and they wanted almost $5 a pound

 

[gaspergou]

Sure. I'll go dig around and see what I have tomorrow.
