QuoteI would be better off with concrete weights, hmm there is an idea. 

QuoteI had a similar idea... Why waste that much lead?   Concrete seems doable... Or rocks with a screw eye in them?

Sure, except that concrete and rocks weigh roughly similar to aluminum, which means they will be fairly large...

About a foot of 1" rebar with a hole drilled through it would give you a 2-1/2 lb weight. No problem dropping a bunch of those onto the seafloor.

That's being done already for deep dropping-rebar turns to rust PDQ.

Good to know! I have no experience deep-dropping, but would like to get out in the near future, and anything that helps to economize the tackle helps.
And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Doin' the old folks boogie and  boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought is as good as a thrill
