Where is the evidence (stats) that any lead based fishing tackle has harmed ground water or any swimming species in salt water? Hard to believe there is a measurable impact on fish (or humans) from that source.
Would like to know who is doing the impact measurements.
(not saying lead isn't toxic, but so is water if too much is consumed).
Also, I'm not familiar with the affect of lead shot from hunting in the environment - so I'll reserve comment...
