If I am understing this right.....
 

The lead ban has been for now cancelled.

There is bill that included the ban; but the ban portion has been changed to allow for now the use of lead sinkers.

Good news for me who has bought 18 molds and pour my own sinkers.

Under 1.7 oz 50 grams

Jigs, swimbaits worms fly line. Ummm.... what to do?
Lol back to spark plugs I reckon yall

Anglers voices heard somewhat
 

"On April 24th, Assembly Bill 2787, authored by Assemblyman Bill Quirk, passed out (6-1) of the Assembly Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials, but not before being amended from an outright ban of fishing weights/sinkers 50 grams or less, to a bill that will “study” the potential impacts of lead on California wildlife."

"AB 2787, as amended, would direct a non-government agency to study the effects of lead on California wildlife. A statement issued by CSL shortly after the Assembly committee vote stated it hoped the study would be conducted by an objective government agency." Marko Mlikotin, Executive Director of the California Sportfishing League

So the bill was approved, but amended to remove the ban, while granting funds for the research of lead on the fisheries.. Small step forward, follow CA Sportfishing League for updates..

If lead is outlawed, then only outlaws will use lead.

Maybe they will start by forcing us to use lighter lead weights by outlawing high capacity lead weights, ... say, anything over 4 oz.

Maybe I'm just rebellious against authority? It's probably an ADHDABCDLGT thing.


PS - various lengths of steel chain might be good weights on a 3-way for halibut - modified scuffer-upper in place of a so-called bounce ball.
