We need you to ACT on this. Right now it looks like there is about a 50/50 chance in us losing our lead headed jigs. Please contact those reps! I spent a few hours at the hearing and let me make it clear that our voice wasvery limited due to the numbers that showed up. I thank everyone that did, but my guess is about 15 of us were there against the bill while closer to 100 were for it. This bill will change fishing as we know it today!

Well Said Marc, this is as serious as it gets as it pertains to throwing 40% of your fishing tackle in the trash.  If you've written before, thank you but please write again. If you haven't, I'm not sure what you're waiting for. I don't know about you but I don't want to throw a thousand dollars in the garbage and then spend 2 or 3 times that to replace it with much harder products to find (bismuth or tungsten) Even when you find it, there won't be nearly the selection of sizes/color/or style.  The 18 or 19 reps will be voting within a 2 week time frame I believe but it could be as early as next week.  Bass fisherman, heck fisherman in general NEED to put fourth effort here.  Even if you write a paragraph as to why you think it's wrong and how it will effect you.  Email everyone you know who likes to fish, every email matters. Please step up.  Thanks
