Wednesday is the deadline for comments opposing EPA's proposed ban on lead fishing tackle. Based on the comments already on the record, we don't stand a chance of stopping or even slowing this action. Very very few of the existing comments pertain to fishing tackle. The vast majority address lead ammo--a part of the original Petition that EPA rejected on August 27.

Many C.c members have signed onto form letters at other web sites. There's no way to know whether these comments will be submitted and no way to know how much they will influence EPA. Individual comments create more bang and they're easy to submit.

Please click over to "Two click comments" in the Lead Threads and take a shot at a personal comment. It's really easy. With two clicks and a little typing (your name and your comments), you will be heard when EPA studies the comments and decides whether to take away all our lead jigs and other lead-based tackle.
