Another tackle merchant joins the ban the ban effort
This morning I received the following email message from Jann's Netcraft-
Dear Richard:
We are contacting you to help us fight the proposed federal ban on all lead in fishing tackle.
On August 23, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was petitioned by the Center for Biological Diversity and four other organizations to ban all lead in fishing tackle under the Toxic Substances Control Act. This includes sinkers, jigs, weighted fly line, and components that contain lead such as brass and ballast in a wide variety of lures, including spinner blades, stick baits and more.
A lead ban would significantly add to the cost of fishing tackle. Alternative materials cost from 6 to 15 times more than lead.
The EPA has opened the petition for public comment. Please join us in opposing the ban by sending your comments to the EPA by no later than September 15th, 2010.
It's quick and easy to submit your comment by Clicking Here.
Please help protect our fishing rights today.
Good Fishin'
