Thread: 100% biodegradeble fishing weight

Eco friendly sinkers are already available:
Eco Egg Sinkers
There are also companies that drill through rocks and sell them for fishing sinkers.

I lost 1 lb of lead last year and Im a d@*k ? Go sell crazy somewhere else, oregons all full here.

Thats pretty much how I feel. I do use lead for sinkers. I do lose one now and then but I also have much of the same ones I've had for 20 years or more. I don't know of any bird that died from eating a sinker. I do know tons have died from oil spills and other horribly gross things. Saveing the planet by eliminating lead sinkers is way way down on my priority list; to the point of silly distraction.
