Still haven't seen a bird that can ingest a 4/0 bass jig and live to be poisoned by the lead before the hook kills him, or TroutTracker's 10lb downrigger.


I'm not contesting the physiology of HOW a bird could ingest, absorb & ultimately be poisoned by lead - I just want to see the science to show that it's actually occurring on a large enough scale to be an issue.
