I thought I'd check out a site I saw on T.V.

The site is called Protect the Harvest dot com.  It is a group that keeps us all informed what is happening in each state Animal right and Ecologist vs Farmers, and Sportsmen. I  copied the information and found something curious. One of these groups are not only going after lead in our sport but rubber lures as well. I am thinking all of the sportsmen in all the states need to use this site.   

Anti-Fishing Policy Advocacy

Anglers are a vital part of our economy and conservation efforts.  There are more than 33 million American anglers who help support 828,000 US jobs and provide more than $115 Billion to our economy.  However, even though 95% of Americans support legal fishing, animal rights extremists are using state legislatures to crack down on fishing.

Since 1998, Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire have passed bans on lead fishing weights.  Connecticut, New York, Vermont and Washington have considered doing the same.

On January 17, 2013, Maine State Representative Paul Davis introduced legislation to prohibit the use of rubber lures for fishing.

Animal rights groups PETA and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) have even called for restrictions on deep-sea fishing and shark hunts.
