Email   received from Janns netcraft today. OF INTEREST is here is the FIRST   time I've read anywhere that this ban will involved lead INSIDE a lure   or in a metal of a lure. If this is the case we got a SERIOUS problem   here. I have read what I can on this and it didn't appear to involve any   lead inside a lure. Up until now I wasn't very concerned about this.   You got my attention when they start adding components and metals like   brass etc.
 
  NO MORE SPINNER BLADES? THEY'RE BRASS. Musky Lures, Bass spinnerbaits?   Collect em now cuz there's about to be ALOT more people put out of work   if this follows through.
 
 
  Dear Scott:
 
  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.
