Actually that's incorrect!!! Nets!!! All kinds that get left in the waterways account for more deaths than all fishing tackle put together. The original proposed ban that came out was more for the benefit of Loons than any other waterfowl. If a bird swallows a jig the hook does more damage than the lead.

Crappiedoc is correct, if you get the MSDS sheets on the non-lead theirs stuff just as hazordous as lead when melted.

The biggest fight we have is against the Environmental groups that are more organized than us.
