Ya I sure woud like to see a bird fly off with a 4 0z. pyramid sinker.
I stil can't see why a coating of some sort wouldn't work. Does lead seep through rubber or plastic? It would be easy enough to dip weights.
PaulS.- Another reason lead is widely used is because it can be melted at a low temp.
I can pour my own weights on my kitchen counter or in the garage. The pros for lead simply outweigh the cons, as long as we are not destroying the enviroment.
BUT........I do foresee a "STUDY" in the future. They never give up.
