which old lead weights. oh my old school dollar weights? or my old ocean banana weights? my newer banana wieghts? or the cannon ball weights? i have too many wieghts. try to get the link i want to learn more.
BioLine used (perhaps still is) to be made here in Portland. Eagle Claw bought them last yar.
I've got a spool of 6# and like it quite a bit. It actually has a lot of similar characteristics as fluorocarbon - including the light refraction! I've used it as leader material and one reel is spooled up with it too. I like it
I'm thinking of making my tackle box a little more environmentally responsible. Eagle Claw is making biodegradable line under the brand "Bioline" and I'm thinking of buying some. Cabela's and BPS aren't selling it yet but I'll be grabbing some when I find it. Has anyone seen this yet. It breaks down in 3-5yrs instead of 600yrs!
I'm also thinking of making some glass weights but not sure if broken glass in the river would be the way to go....If anyone can think of a use for glass in fishing gear I'm all ears...I've been blowing glass for 10+ years and I'd like to come up with a way to incorporate it into my love of angling. Glass floats were used back in the day and I always thought that was cool...
By the way, I just read that those old lead weights you love are illegal or something...
Begging your pardon, but how the heck are glass jigs & lures more bio friendly?
Isn't there already enough broken beer & pop bottle glass in our streams?
Plus, a manufacturer still pollutes our environment too produce the glass in the first place.
Is this just the lesser of two evils?
