I notice they let the buzz bait and fly manufacturers off the hook
(pardon the pun) as it were...

Don't recall the use of much lead in flies or buzz baits.


Many who tie their own flies use lead wire to give the end product a bit
of weight. There are wire products that can be used in place of lead. If
memory serves, and it's been a long time since I fished lakes with buzz
baits...some of them use lead heads.

Shows my ignorance of fly-tieing. Lead wire would be pretty bad. Maybe I could cover it with grass
and feed it to the swans in the bay.
