its hard to pick which side to be on for this type of argument. i fish plastics all the time and definitely lose my share of them. however, right now, we are dealing with several moratoriums including alewifes and blueback herring with menhaden and eels on the horizon perhaps. with all the technology out there, wouldn't it be better for the sport if they were not banned, but instead made of an "environmentally friendly" soft plastic that would dissolve if left in a salty environment for a long period of time? if they ban plastics, i can assure you that lead will be next and then who knows what next. if this "ban" is true, i hope it gets reconsidered as soft plastics have received huge amounts of acceptance with fisherman that do not want to fish with bait because many are scarce right now or just because they enjoy fishing with artificials. i hope this isnt true though. just my two cents.

Gunpowder,
Funny you should mention lead.
Did you know there is an upcoming bill in Mass to ban the sale, use and posession of lead weights less than 1/2 ounce.

This is very true indeed!
I can definately see the reasoning behind it. Use of lead is already forbidden in some lakes/areas. |

I would have thought that the weights prohibited would be larger than .5 oz. not less than  .... any reasoning behind this? |

Waterfowl ingest small lead weights. |
