I do pour my own sinkers. The molds are made by Do-it Co. and Hiltz.
Unless someone makes their own molds (which is not inexpensive to do), they most likely use molds from this company, or Hiltz.

I don't see how you can cheat, if you are using their molds. Perhaps it is easier to round of the numbers, like (4) instead of 3.85 in the cavity of the mold. After all the sinker is for sinking the bait and not doing scientific experiments.

Since the sinkers are sold per bag or individually rather than per weight there is no misrepresentation.

I don’t have affiliation to anybody who sells sinkers; I am just providing another perspective to consider.
