My latest project.   It looks like a regular head but is it lead?  NOPE.

A bismuth tin jig head.   8-)

Its lighter and melts at a lower temp.  Its also more brittle and will be another learning curve like lead.  Completely different characteristics.  Lot more expensive too.  2lbs was about 40 dollars. :shocking:

Right now I dont blame you one bit.  I am too.  This was a mess around with deal.

I'd bet in 10yrs lead fishing will be gone.  It will all be non tox.

In the UK (where I'm from originally, and fished) lead was banned from some waters many many years ago due to water fowl getting poisoned. I guess that no such bans will happen in Korea in the forseeable future.
