Re: CT General Assembly January 2017 proposition to BAN the USE, mfc and sale of fishing tackle containing LEAD!
[Re: Don P]
Here we see facts misrepresented, likely to drive hyperbole:
Granted, even a 25% toxicosis rate is sufficient to warrant action - why blow the issue out of proportion by including "suspected" cases with verified cases in the final reporting?
Same report gives us a more practical solution - limit the use of lead in terminal tackle less than an inch wide in any dimension. Done. Easy. Landing us at a point that is a far cry from 100% lead ban - but an appropriate measure to address the real problem.
