    The price for our jigs and flies will increase a great deal and most of us know from waterfowl hunting, steel is not an appropriate substitute for lead.

    The heating point of tungsten is enough to scare me. Poor guy pouring tungsten heads,if he got a drop on him it would burn clear through.This is safer??? Hey PETA,leave my lead alone. I guess every duck,goose,swan,whooping crane and dodo bird that dies is a result of Lead. Probably why a couple I mentioned are extinct. That's "BULL----".

    Tungsten is the metal used to make filaments for incandescent light bulbs. It gets hot enough to give off white light and still doesn't melt.

    The only ones I have seen die from lead was because someone was aiming at them. They go down pretty quick too.
