Just wanna know who sells them...

Get only the good ones an be carefull about usin them in the salt. I experimented with those the MV Derby was givin out an the things rust inside and abraid an cut your line so use caution.There are some nice ones used for worm weights that do a good job. Ron

Thankfully, The Environmentalcases have not gotten lead banned in the ocean...but I am sure that will happen evetually.

Thats gonna be fun considering it's a base element of the planet and almost 30 percent of the make-up of all clay is lead.Always nice when idiots forget to read the whole chapter and only what they want to hear.Anyone know of anyplace that isn't full of clay besides the deserts.

Walmart also has Brass weights, which are much better than steel
