How about those little fishing sinkers I bite on so they clamp down on the line. I think they’re next.
You know, they make a nifty little set of pocket size fishing pliers that have a small depression in the jaws to accommodate those types of fishing sinkers. It would keep you from having to bite down on them.
You are correct. Best stock up. We recently finished building an Imaging Center where they specialize in advanced MRI’s. There were literally sheet upon sheet of lead being thrown in a dumpster after the rooms were lined. We took them melted it and made about a thousand large sinkers. You won't be able to get them soon!
Already are on the way out. Alternative materials are already on store shelves - brass being one of the most common. Also at a much higher price than lead.
What I don't get - lead is treated as if it is unnatural - as if it is a manmade element. Where do they think lead comes from? The earth...
I'm not a fisherman, but I believe lead sinkers are illegal in NH.
I believe the law was signed by one of our recent lib governors (Shaheen), but what's the big deal? Won't a steel sinker sink just as well? Evidently so - folks still fish up here.
