Lead Core Fishing Line - Do Not Use or Buy - Go Green Fishing

I have run across something that disturbs me very much, seeing that I have gone green.

I have discovered some fishing line that contains lead, in fact the core of the line is 99.9% lead.

It is called MAGIBRAID Lead Core Line. This tough, down-deep trolling line is manufactured with High-Tenacity, multifilament DuPont nylon yarn tightly braided over soft pure lead core.

The smaller diameter line also allows more reel capacity than standard lead core lines.

Is it really worth the chance of poisoning our water fowl and fish by swallowing lead based fishing line to have a few more feet of fishing line on a reel?

Come on folks if we are going to try and save our wildlife I can not recommend using this line for anything that might get back to our dinner tables.

We need to let them know that we do not approve of this type of line to be used for fishing and ask that it be taken off the market.

Keep the Hooks Wet!
