[cool][#0000ff]There are several waters around the country that are now designated as "no lead" waters. On many of them it is foolish because there are no loons and that is the species they are trying to protect.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Tungsten is the approved substitute for lead...sinkers, jigs, etc. But, it is not widely available. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If the law does not adamantly forbid the use of lead, it is a request only. On waters where anglers use well painted jig heads, sealed against contact with water, there are usually no tickets issues. The big concern is losing sinkers and lead shot where they lay on the bottom and get consumed by various waterfoul. Painted fishing jigs are usually not in the mix of things ingested by stupid birds.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]About the Kayak...we will be adding "'yakking" to the topics on our board. A couple of the guys in Utah are avid yakkers and are very knowledgeable about it. I am waiting for them to get their own website set up and then have them join us...maybe with a separate board.[/#0000ff]
