Does anyone know if lead weight is used inside freshwater lures?
Maybe if it is encased it will not be a problem.
If that is the case then why can't lead sinkers be dipped in some sort of material (plastic or another metal)?
It's obviously not an issue of birds ingesting 4oz sinkers.
I think it's too early to freak out about this.
Wherever lead is banned it is all small stuff.
Fishermen are ingenious. They have found ways to make do and I am certain someone will come up with a way to let us continue using our tackle and make it safe for the enviroment.
