Personally if they stopped us from using lead, I would go over to the fly tying style and use sickle hooks in Tungsten Bead. I have a bunch of tin heads and they just sit in my work room sitting under the book shelve behind me. I don't even know the weights now, but no excuse, I should have tried them by now.

Heck maybe I will give them a try this year, but I have had them fro probably at least 3 years and have not tied one on yet. Worst part is I like a silver head a lot and use a good many.

Hope they don't outlaw lead down here.

Will they rust? If so I guess a clear coat would help with that.

Also wish that a a 1/14 didn't look like a 1/8 Oz. (lead) head or that a 1/8 would look like a 1/4 Oz.
