:11ztongue Thanks for all of the tips . I think I will stick with the hard lead in the pockets I am going to try and shave them down a little so they slide in the pouches easier

Shaving them down will work but watch out for burs on the lead. I know lead is soft but sometimes you can bet sharp edges. My recommendation would be switch to shot weight, in fact you can make them fairly cheap.

What type of bags or pouches do you usually use to put the lead shot in. What do you find to be the best material strength wise for putting the lead shot inwaterwraith:

Old socks work. But if you want to actually make them, I use the nylon storm window screen.
bluewatertoy:
I agree with Dea on the material to make the pouches, now if you do decide to make them, make sure the thread you use will not rot with water and time. I have used fishing line in the past and it works well. On the other hand, they have come down in price significantly if you purchase them through your LDS.
