Thanks Corker,
We can move on now with vigilant caution. I think the lead ban proposal spiked the market for a little while. I will check at the scrap yard with my friend. Thanks to everyone that sent letters. Again,THANKS CORKER!!

Here is the letter I got:Thanks to your help, on Thursday, November 4, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rejected the petition to ban lead in all fishing tackle.

The EPA and Members of Congress received more than 43,000 messages from anglers just like you opposing a federal ban on lead in fishing tackle. Your voice was heard and had a direct impact on the EPA’s decision.

Despite the good news, the fight is not over! There is still work to be done and we can’t do it without your help.

Donate now to help KeepAmericaFishing™ keep the EPA out of fishing.

Legislation recently introduced in Congress will ensure future efforts to ban lead in fishing tackle are based on scientific fact, not guess work or unproven claims. If this legislation fails to pass, the costs of sinkers, jigs and other fishing tackle will significantly increase.
Donate now to help KeepAmericaFishing advocate and preserve your right to fish on our public waters.

Your contribution will directly support KeepAmericaFishing’s efforts to keep our nation's waters open, clean, and abundant with fish now and for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your voice.

Heard on the radio today (11-24-10) that several enviro groups are suing the EPA to make them ban lead. Their claim is 10 mil to 20 mil animals and birds die each year from lead poisioning. Wonder where the dead animals and birds are. At that rate we should see them laying all over the place.
