Lead threads

You may have noticed the new discussion forum relating to the use of lead in fishing tackle. Slab intends for this forum to be temporary but it will remain as long as the EPA is considering a ban on lead fishing tackle, including jigs, split shot, sinkers, and other tackle items. The purpose of the forum is to collect our thoughts and fight this proposal.

Originally, EPA included both ammo and fishing tackle within the scope of a possible regulation. NRA moved quickly and forced EPA to drop the idea of banning lead ammo. NRA did not drop the proposal to ban lead-based fishing tackle, however.

Please come join our discussions of this important topic. Without lead jigs, crappie fishing will become much more expensive. Now's the time to register our objections to this proposal.

I did the online petition today...............we don't have an NRA for fisherman/women, but we gotta make an effort

ANYBODY that likes fishing should ATLEAST do the petition. Mine's done.:o
